Brexit conspiracy theories

"More things in politics happen by accident or exhaustion than happen by conspiracy" Jeff Greenfield

There's nothing like a good conspiracy theory to get people going, and there are no shortage of them coming out of the Leave campaign at the moment. News that Sarah Wollaston has switched over to the Remain camp is the latest incident to provoke accusations of foul play. According to some, the government is in cahoots with everyone from the IFS to TV broadcasters to rig the EU referendum.

Our lead item today takes you through some of the most common theories among those who want to leave the EU including the one about the voter registration website crashing and the idea that the government deliberately signed up EU citizens to vote in the referendum. 

And, if you missed our verdict on yesterday's PMQs you can catch up on it here. This week, Jeremy Corbyn decided to focus his questions on highlighting the divisions within the Conservative party over the EU. But this piece suggested that his own reluctance over the referendum has made Labour an irrelevance.
