Some weeks ago I used these columns to ask 'Vote leave' supporters to spell out for us what sort of future they wanted for us outside the EU. I’m disappointed, though not at all surprised, that no-one has risen to the challenge.

The truth, I suspect, is that they simply can’t agree among themselves on the kind of relationship they want with the EU. Norway, Canada and even (Heaven help us) Albania have all been suggested as models we should follow. But there’s no agreed strategy on what British negotiators should be asking for.

So what’s likely to happen on June 23 if we vote to leave the EU? Will the Leave campaign suddenly come up with a cunning plan to secure a favourable trade deal with Europe? Or will they be far too busy arguing among themselves to start meaningful negotiations? We just don’t know.

I might have been prepared to consider voting 'Leave' if the Brexit campaign had come up with a coherent plan for the future. But they haven’t.

What Boris Johnson, Michael Gove, Ian Duncan Smith and co are basically saying to British voters is: “We want to leave the EU. We’re not going to tell you what life will be like outside because we don’t really know ourselves. But hey, trust us – we’re politicians!”

Enough said, I think.
