0:09.3 | Welcome to the View from 22 podcast. I'm Isabel Hardman, assistant editor of The Spectator. |
0:17.4 | In this episode, we'll be discussing the EU referendum. As our political editor James Forsyth reveals in this week's magazine, the In-campaign has a new strategy. |
0:26.7 | They're unsure they can win the economic arguments, so instead they will ask whether Britain really wants to go it alone in a dangerous and uncertain world. |
0:35.1 | David Cameron will say Brexit would compromise our security, given the threat of |
