This might seem impossible, but the row between Vote Leave and Labour leave has become even more complicated. This afternoon, Labour donor John Mills, who remains on the Vote Leave campaign, has put out this statement:
‘I am the founder and co-owner of Labour Leave. A statement has been put out by someone called Richard Hillgrove purporting to be from Brendan Chilton, General Secretary of Labour Leave. That statement is fraudulent. Richard Hillgrove has no position in Labour Leave. Labour Leave is an independent campaign but corporately it supports Vote Leave.’
But Kate Hoey, who is co-chair of Labour leave, says that this is the official statement from the group, and it has Chilton’s name next to Hoey’s at the bottom of it:
‘Labour Leave will now be independent of Vote Leave and has told the Electoral Commission that we do not endorse Vote Leave for designation.
