WE would like to thank Knutsford Academy and the Knutsford Guardian for their excellent EU referendum debate on Friday, June 10.

Quite a few adult Knutsford Labour Party members attended, supporting the party’s countrywide stance – Remain.

We were sorry not to have been on the panel but felt that Tom Dalzell, the young Labour student from the academy, gave the case to remain with great conviction and style.

The EU is the third largest economy in the world.

The EU is in the premier league.

Why would you want to get out of the premier league?

In fact it gets even better as the International Monetary Fund puts the EU as the second largest economy and the World Bank has the EU as the largest economy.
