Branson urges Britain to stay in the EU
SIR Richard Branson yesterday waded into the debate over the UK’s EU membership, urging Britain to stay in the union. “An exit would be very bad for British business and the economy as a whole,” he said. Addressing calls by MPs for a referendum on the issue, Branson added the EU would be in “better shape” than the US in a few years’ time.
