The campaign to keep Britain in the European Union appeared to regain the upper hand on Monday, putting the pound on track for its biggest one-day gain in more than seven years and buoying the UK stock market.
Campaigning for the June 23 referendum resumed on Sunday after a three-day suspension following the killing of lawmaker Jo Cox, and three opinion polls at the weekend showed the "Remain" camp gaining momentum.
Sterling rose by as much as 2.4 percent against the dollar on Monday, heading for its biggest one-day rise since December 2008, while Britain's FTSE-100 shares index jumped 3 percent - its biggest one-day gain since mid-February. [.L] [GBP/]
The killing of Cox, a 41-year-old mother of two young children, has shocked Britain and could yet prove a defining moment in a vote that will shape the nation's role in world trade and also determine the future of the bloc.

The horrific murder of a Member of Parliament may have turned the tide in favor of staying. If that happens, Britain may be forced to take in even more Syrian refugees, including many terrorists.
This blackdog is calling “bull$hit”.
Brits are stupid bastards if they vote to stay! But then they’ve been stupid bastards for years, for letting their once proud homeland be overrun by Muslim trash. Margaret Thatcher and Winston Churchill are turning over in their graves watching the current moron inhabitants drive the final nails in the British Empire’s coffin!
If they want to commit suicide go ahead. Leftists are destroying the western world.
UK is dying anyway, its ruling elite have sold it out to the IslamoNazi invasion
so being under the thumb of the Brussels dictatorship... can’t make it much worse
What about the good Brits who want to leave the EU?
This was predicted, big shift in polls right before rigged election.
I empathize with the Brits, we too are losing our vote.
where is Soros these days?
The cosseted subjects of a failed socialist rump state fail to recognize that they cannot secede from anything by voting. Any vote they take to get out of the EU will be fixed.
They’re screwed over by leftists.
The "pro-EU" camp is after nothing but more of the same. How could an average worker want that?
BTW, that's basically Madam Benghazi's platform - more of the same failed policies.
Yep! I read an excuse for the ‘stayers’...
“Who’s gonna make our curries?”
Can you believe that?
That may be the British counterpart to an NBC pre-election poll.
Desperate to create phony momentum , bandwagon and herding effect..
The so called polls there lie about still showed Leave Ahead !
But you would never know reading this bull shit and the psych of Headline. The Globalist run disinformation - propaganda media like ELReuters is the enemy but some posters here love to peddle it here .
Could be just an emotional blip.

so true. why don’t the English realize the the EU is desperate for them to remain in the EU, as they want their money to cover all the potential financial defaults of the weaker members, and Cameron wants to remain part of something bigger than his island nation? how can the Brits genuflect to a US president who calls for them to remain in the EU or be relegated to the back of the queue? i’m afraid there are too many English who haven’t a clue about the cost to England in remaining under the thumb and control of these Belgium bureaucrats.
I hope the monsters who dreamed up this false flag and murdered that woman get rectal cancer.
The Syrian refugee question is irrelevant, since the UK has not been, and will not be ‘forced’ by the EU to take in any. Britain controls its own borders, is not in the Schengen open-border area, and refused to participate in Merkel’s quota scheme to distribute Sryian refugees throughout the EU. The only admissions it is ‘forced’ to make under EU treaties are people who are already EU citizens, who have the right to live and work in any EU country. The ‘leave’ campaign is basing its case that continuing membership will force further Syrian etc immigration on the very remote possibility that Turkey will join the EU.
