I am told that talks are well advanced with a very high-profile businessmen, his name well-known to many in this country, to become the chairman of the campaign, and that this should be announced soon. Leave.eu is also well on course to raise an initial £20m to fund its activities – not just from fat cats, but from individual registered supporters, of whom 160,000 have been recruited in the last seven weeks. But to emphasise the breadth of the coalition Messrs Banks and Tice are trying to put together, talks are also well advanced with leading trades unionists to become prominent supporters of the movement.
