:00:18. > :00:20.the out campaign came with a huge amount of heartache.
:00:21. > :00:25.I want a better deal for the people of this country -
:00:26. > :00:30.to save them money and take back control.
:00:31. > :00:33.The move is seen as a severe blow to the Prime Minister,
:00:34. > :00:38.who'd earlier issued a plea to the Mayor.
:00:39. > :00:41.Linking arms with Nigel Farage and George Galloway and leaping
:00:42. > :00:49.into the dark is the wrong thing to do for our country.

:01:52. > :01:56.He said the decision came with a huge amount of heartache,
:01:57. > :01:59.and the last thing he wanted, was to go against the Government.
:02:00. > :02:02.His decision is a huge boost to the out campaign,
:02:03. > :02:05.and a major blow to the Prime Minister, who maintained again
:02:06. > :02:08.today, that leaving the EU would be a leap in the dark.
:02:09. > :02:10.This report from our Political Editor Laura Kuenssberg
:02:11. > :02:32.He makes a good bird, you might say he likes to make an entrance. I can
:02:33. > :02:38.see you're all in a great mass here and I apologise... Finally fessing
:02:39. > :02:42.up to the waiting crowd he will campaign against his friend and
:02:43. > :02:48.rival to leave. We have a chance to do something, I have a chance to do
:02:49. > :02:54.something, I would like to see a new relationship based more on trade, on
:02:55. > :02:58.cooperation, but as I said, with much less of this supranational
:02:59. > :03:01.element, that is where I am coming from and why I have decided after
:03:02. > :03:06.huge amount of heartache, because I did not want to do anything, the
:03:07. > :03:10.last thing I wanted was to go against David Cameron or the
:03:11. > :03:15.government. But after a great deal of heartache I don't think there was
:03:16. > :03:19.anything else I could do. If that is what you have thought all along why
:03:20. > :03:24.have you kept your party waiting for such a long time? Because the truth
:03:25. > :03:32.is it has been agonisingly difficult. And I think for many of
:03:33. > :03:39.us, what I said over many years, a couple of years now, is I would like
:03:40. > :03:44.to be in a reformed EU, and that is Michael. One based more on free
:03:45. > :03:49.trade and fundamental treaty change. -- and one that is far more based on
:03:50. > :03:55.Fiji. Cannot ignore him, he has taken a huge political jump that
:03:56. > :03:59.could change this campaign. It is a dream for those campaigning to
:04:00. > :04:06.leave. Not so much for his friend and rival in number ten. Mr Johnson
:04:07. > :04:11.text is -- Centre takes to David Cameron 12 minutes he and instead.
:04:12. > :04:16.The primers don't know it was probably coming but don't make this
:04:17. > :04:20.appeal on television. I would say to Boris what I say to everyone else
:04:21. > :04:25.that we will be safer and stronger and better off inside the EU. I
:04:26. > :04:28.think the prospect of linking arms with Nigel far as shown George
:04:29. > :04:33.Galloway and taking a leap into the DAC is a wrong step for the country.
:04:34. > :04:39.-- Nigel Farage. If Boris and others came about -- kilobyte getting
:04:40. > :04:45.things done, the EU is one of the ways. Today has been short time for
:04:46. > :04:50.Conservative ministers who disagree with each other. The European Union,
:04:51. > :04:54.and I have said this many times, they spend money that comes from
:04:55. > :05:00.British taxpayers. I want what is best for Britain. Even if it is
:05:01. > :05:04.relatively polite the clash of principles is profound but Iain
:05:05. > :05:09.Duncan Smith, campaigning for out, believes the primers that is just
:05:10. > :05:14.plain wrong. It is clearly a big moment for many people who have
:05:15. > :05:17.never had a say on whether they want to stay within the European Union,
:05:18. > :05:21.and only in the UK will be played this game pretending it is something
:05:22. > :05:26.else, it is a political union that has some market elements attached,
:05:27. > :05:29.the big issue is about control of borders within the European Union to
:05:30. > :05:33.those who are citizens of various countries in the European Union, and
:05:34. > :05:37.those borders are absolutely wide-open and cause problems. We saw
:05:38. > :05:41.what happened in Paris, we'll be spent it is planning and plotting.
:05:42. > :05:48.This those made already be thinking about... So staying in the EU makes
:05:49. > :05:51.us more honourable to Paris style attacks? I think the present status
:05:52. > :05:56.of the open border we have right now, many of us feel does actually
:05:57. > :06:01.leave the door open. When you hear the Prime Minister and people who
:06:02. > :06:07.want to stay in saying the most if -- saying they are more safe staying
:06:08. > :06:10.in the European Union, but you see we are not, how is it possible for
:06:11. > :06:14.the Conservative Party to stay together over these issues that are
:06:15. > :06:18.so fundamental? They are strong opinions and views and we need to do
:06:19. > :06:22.something to change these elements that exist at the moment and I
:06:23. > :06:25.simply say that for those of us who want to leave we believe
:06:26. > :06:29.fundamentally that a new relationship with the European Union
:06:30. > :06:33.would allow us to control or own borders. Those arguments on Security
:06:34. > :06:38.and sovereignty will be hotly disputed. Outlook at this. Campaigns
:06:39. > :06:42.are sketched out by big personalities. Only the end result
:06:43. > :06:45.will see whether the attention he attracts was really worth the wait.
:06:46. > :06:50.Laura's in Downing Street for us now.
:06:51. > :06:59.One of the most recognisable faces in British politics, how influential
:07:00. > :07:04.could one is Johnson's views be? The answers in your question, he is one
:07:05. > :07:09.of the most recognisable faces in British politics. Frustration in
:07:10. > :07:13.Downing Street, not just what he has said, but taking so long to make it
:07:14. > :07:16.clear. And suspicion across the whole political spectrum, amongst
:07:17. > :07:23.the Tories and the Labour Party, but this is part of his ambition to be
:07:24. > :07:27.in charge here, rather than political conviction. And Lord
:07:28. > :07:31.Heseltine also said he liked Boris Johnson, but that he would like
:07:32. > :07:38.David Cameron. He goes on to say his arguments do not add up. Many people
:07:39. > :07:43.might argue what is the fuss? He is only one politician. But until today
:07:44. > :07:48.be out campaign did not have a charismatic leader. Tonight they
:07:49. > :07:52.have somebody with more panache. Probably also a good dose more
:07:53. > :07:57.pantomime, someone who could indeed it really energised this campaign,
:07:58. > :08:01.who could make it more playful and the referendum campaign is not a
:08:02. > :08:07.political game. The questions facing us all a much more important than
:08:08. > :08:10.any single location but when it comes down to it, this might be
:08:11. > :08:17.close, so anything that could make at Fred of difference is significant
:08:18. > :08:20.in itself. -- that could make any difference. Thank you.
:08:21. > :08:22.Well, the Prime Minister firmly believes the deal brokered
:08:23. > :08:24.with the EU will help convince voters he's right
:08:25. > :08:27.The agreement promises benefits for EU migrant workers can be
:08:28. > :08:30.limited for the first four years, and that child benefit payments
:08:31. > :08:34.The UK will be excused from a commitment to what Brussels
:08:35. > :08:39.And countries that don't use the euro will be able force debate
:08:40. > :08:43.through a safeguard mechanism on proposals they don't like.
:08:44. > :08:46.But critics say the deal has fallen short in many areas,
:08:47. > :08:52.with UK sovereignty still undermined by EU membership.
:08:53. > :08:54.Our Special Correspondent Lucy Manning has been to Leeds
:08:55. > :08:56.to gauge opinion on how the deal has been received.
:08:57. > :09:00.Her report does contain flashing images.
:09:01. > :09:02.The argument about Britain and the EU has gone round and round,
:09:03. > :09:06.but now everyone will get a vote to decide.
:09:07. > :09:11.So will they follow the Prime Minister or vote to leave?
:09:12. > :09:13.We're such a little country by ourselves, I think it's safer
:09:14. > :09:20.Have you been persuaded by the deal the Prime Minister has done?
:09:21. > :09:24.I'd already thought that I would vote to stay anyway.
:09:25. > :09:28.To be honest, I don't really see any point of the deal.
:09:29. > :09:32.There's lots for and lots against, really.
:09:33. > :09:36.Personally, I think we should leave it, become Great Britain again
:09:37. > :09:44.If Boris Johnson goes for the out campaign,
:09:45. > :09:48.I think Boris is a very interesting character,
:09:49. > :09:50.but he wouldn't persuade me either way.
:09:51. > :09:54.Last year, 6,000 people came from the European Union
:09:55. > :10:01.So will the Prime Minister's new deal to restrict the benefits
:10:02. > :10:04.and child benefits that those coming from abroad can claim make any
:10:05. > :10:07.difference to those who want to come to work here?
:10:08. > :10:11.Leeds' Polish community gathered after church.
:10:12. > :10:13.Have they had too big a portion of the benefits
:10:14. > :10:19.Jimmy and Joanna have been here for ten years.
:10:20. > :10:22.The Poles do not here to come claim benefits,
:10:23. > :10:30.If someone is looking for benefits, they would go to other countries.
:10:31. > :10:32.Dominic sends his child benefit back to Poland,
:10:33. > :10:35.and thinks reducing it will be unfair, but he does back the plans
:10:36. > :10:45.I think the idea of Prime Minister David Cameron of increasing
:10:46. > :10:47.the period after which people will be entitled to four years,
:10:48. > :10:50.I think this is a good idea, because this may stop people
:10:51. > :10:54.who are purely coming to this country to claim benefits.
:10:55. > :10:59.But for some Poles who came in, they now support out.
:11:00. > :11:00.And with his newly-acquired British citizenship,
:11:01. > :11:08.I think it is going to be better for the UK just to leave Europe.
:11:09. > :11:11.I think it is about time, basically, this is my opinion.
:11:12. > :11:14.Even if it means that fewer Polish people can come to travel
:11:15. > :11:16.to the UK to work? Absolutely.
:11:17. > :11:20.I think we need to have some kind of restrictions, some limitations.
