Grayling: Obama 'doesn't understand' UK and EU

The leader of the House of Commons, Chris Grayling, has said he "actively" wants David Cameron to stay on as prime minister if Britain votes to leave the European Union.

Speaking to Andrew Marr, Mr Grayling, who is part of the Vote Leave campaign, said a Conservative leadership contest would not be helpful.

Mr Grayling predicts President Obama, who is due to intervene in the debate, will call for a remain vote, "but would not cede USA's sovereignty like UK has done to EU", adding Obama "doesn't understand" the impact of EU membership on the UK.
