There’s just over a week to go until the polls open for the EU referendum and Britain decides what it would like its future to look like. The debate has been fierce – and no more so than when The Spectator brought together key figures from both campaigns to make the case for Leave and Remain for our last debate, when Leave won. Tonight, Andrew Neil chaired a second debate between key members of both sides. The Leaves had it again – they initially had 308 votes, and swung to 369. Remain had 138 and swung to 160 – and the undecideds had 144 and swung to 69.
This was the line-up:

- Lord Falconer, Labour Peer, Shadow Lord Chancellor and Shadow Secretary of State for Justice (Stronger In)
- Daniel Hannan, Conservative MEP for South East England (Vote Leave)
- Sir Malcolm Rifkind, Conservative, former Foreign Secretary (Stronger In)
