Conservative MP Iain Duncan Smith received a standing ovation at this evening’s (Friday’s) Vote Leave rally at Christ the King College in Newport.
Around 150 people gathered to listen to the Vote Leave campaigner as he took to the stage to rally support ahead of next month’s referendum, which will see Islanders and fellow countryman go to the polls to decide the future of the United Kingdom’s membership to the European Union (EU).
The Island’s MP, Andrew Turner spent the day with Iain Duncan Smith – known as IDS – as they toured around local businesses including Betapak and Goddards Brewery.
Mr Turner spoke briefly at the rally before handing the baton over to IDS for over 45 minutes, in which time he received several rounds of applause from the crowd.
A question and answer session ironed out any remaining points, including on how quickly borders could be locked down, and brought the evening to a close.
IW Grassroots Out chairman Ian Brown also spoke for a short time.
