Britain will refuse to sign a free trade deal with the EU unless it includes curbs on free movement David Cameron told leaders as he admitted it was immigration fears which led to the Brexit.
In his final Brussels summit, Mr Cameron warned his EU counterparts that nothing less would be acceptable to the British public after a decisive referendum result.
He told them it was clear that the UK had voted for Brexit because the public thought immigration was out of control.
The Prime Minister’s intervention – less than a week after the historic vote to Leave – blamed Britain’s departure on Angela Merkel and other foreign leaders who refused to give him any worthwhile reforms on immigration.
But it also had huge ramifications for the Tory leadership battle.
The field of candidates – many of whom voted to remain in the EU, and preserve unfettered free movement – will now come under pressure to follow Mr Cameron’s belated lead that Britain must take back control of its borders.
