The OECD, the IMF, the G20, the World Bank, eight former US Treasury chiefs, our EU allies and, of course, the leader of the western world are all Remainers.

Then, closer to home, there is, of course, the Treasury; not to mention the Bank of England, which has raised fears about Britain leaving the EU.

When earlier this week this point was put to Justice Secretary Michael Gove, the leading Outer, hit back.

The Scot reeled off a number of illustrious names: the Open Europe think-tank; Lord Lawson, the former chancellor; Lord Digby Jones, the former CBI Director General; Simon Wilson, the boss of Next and John Longworth, the ex-head of the British chambers of commerce.

All of these experts, insisted the Scot, were of the view that Britain would be “better off economically outside the EU”.

While one cannot deny the calibre of Mr Gove’s list, they hardly match the firepower of the range of pro-EU international bodies coming out for Britain staying in the Brussels bloc.

And while the Bremain camp, headed by David Cameron, can bask in the reflected glow of Barack Obama’s presence this weekend, the Brexit camp we hear is about to welcome its own political star to the referendum frontline - Marine Le Pen, leader of France’s far-right National Front.

Certainly, fear is being mongered by both sides and the rhetoric is getting fruitier by the day.

The arrival to Britain of Mr Obama has prompted Ukip champion Nigel Farage to urge him to “butt out” and described the 44th incumbent of the White House as the “most anti-British president” in American history.

As we near June 23 we can expect more fear, more hyperbole and more lovebombing from those foreign politicians, who are invited over to back the arguments for In and Out.
