"We will wholeheartedly stand against the idea that Britain should be isolated and alone.

"So whatever the outcome of these negotiations, my party will be campaigning wholeheartedly to remain in.

"Because we are focused on the bigger issues at stake: the reasons why Britain and Europe are both stronger, safer and more prosperous together."
