We have had wars in Europe, but outside the EU Zone.

There is a disconnection with politicians across the world. And more extremist parties seem to be gaining support. But at least these extremes are diluted within the EU, and I'm sure we're safer in than out. We are tied into agreements on the defence of Europe. But I'm sure the resolve of the EU looks stronger to Putin, for example, than if we left the EU and washed our hands of those commitments.

We can't credibly pull up the drawbridge when everything's global and interlinked.

And the people leading the out campaign don't seem to be the people who would have to pick up the pieces if we did leave.

Health and social care will need to be restructured whether we're in or out of the EU. And it will need the right level of funding to do this.
