Isis would welcome Britain leaving the European Union, David Cameron has claimed.
Taking questions following a speech at Mansion House organised by the World Ecomomic Forum, Mr Cameron said he suspected Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the terror group’s leader, would be happy with Brexit.
Mr Cameron has said in the past that leaving the EU could play into the hands of Britain’s enemies, but this is thought to be the first time he has suggested Isis would actively want to see the UK leave the EU.
The Prime Minister was responding to criticisms of a speech he gave last week, in which he said a new conflict in Europe could not be ruled out. He urged voters not to take a risk on Brexit, saying: “I never said if we leave on Thursday, World War Three breaks out on Friday”.
