A poll by YouGov conducted in the immediate aftermath of Cameron's EU deal has found Leave is now leading with 45 per cent of support against Remain, which has fallen to 36 per cent.

Only 22 per cent say it's a good deal, with 56 per cent saying the changes do not go far enough.

He may run into hurdles, however, as it has been revealed that none of Cameron's fellow EU leaders are happy with his reform proposals as they stand, according to the BBC.
