The then prime minister asked me not to interfere, not to intervene in the referendum campaign.
It was a mistake not to intervene and not to interfere because we would have been the only ones to destroy the lies which were circulated around. I was wrong to be silent at an important moment.
Cameron started out very reluctant to mix it with other Conservatives about facts. He did change tack later.
Did the newspapers and broadcast media do enough to check facts?
The election could well be a time to explore further how we got here.
