Government ministers are to be permitted to campaign on both the "Remain" and "Leave" sides in the upcoming referendum on UK membership of the European Union, Prime Minister David Cameron has told the House of Commons
Cabinet ministers will be allowed to campaign on either side of the referendum on Britain's membership of the European Union, the prime minister has confirmed.
Mr Cameron told the House of Commons that the Government will make a "clear recommendation" following the conclusion of the renegotiation of the terms of its membership.
But he told MPs that it would be open for individual ministers to oppose this recommendation without quitting their Government posts.
The move will throw a spotlight on senior Tories such as Home Secretary Theresa May, Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith, Leader of the Commons Chris Grayling and London Mayor Boris Johnson, who will face increased pressure to declare which way they will vote.
The Democratic presidential candidate may also have shown his cards on his choice of running mate.
The US president also shared a post on Twitter accusing Dr Anthony Fauci of misleading the public over hydroxychloroquine.
