The Governor of the Bank of England. Jamie Dimon of JP Morgan and many other foreign bankers. Fearmongers in general. Their support for Britain remaining in the European Union won't soon be forgotten.

Certainly, that's the impression from speaking to Andrea Leadsom MP, the minister (and former City minister) who is one of the most fearless voices in the Leave campaign. Her outspoken comments indicate how deeply the debate - or should that be bitter argument? - over Britain's future has caused a rift in public life, in particular with the Brexit camp believing that the establishment has closed ranks to oppose them.
