David Cameron said Britain would reduce its influence by "quitting" the EU.

The prime minister said he wanted Britain to be "the leader" and "the winners" in Europe and the world but Brexit was not the answer.

"We don't enhance our influence by walking away or quitting, we reduce our influence," he said.

"I honestly believe walking away, quitting, would reduce our national influence, would reduce our economy, would reduce our say in the world and as a result would damage our country."
