LONDON: A group of British business leaders and entrepreneurs are preparing to launch a campaign for Britain to leave the European Union at a planned membership referendum, a major donor to the UK Independence Party said.
Prime Minister David Cameron has promised to renegotiate Britain’s relationship with the EU ahead of a vote by the end of 2017, and is this week due to set out his reform plans in more detail at a summit of EU leaders in Brussels.
The group, which the Sunday Telegraph reported would be called “No Thanks – We’re Going Global”, is backed by UKIP donor Arron Banks and property investor Richard Tice. So far it has raised 7 million pounds ($11 million) of a planned 20 million pounds.
