The countdown is on to one of the biggest vote in the UK's history as the country prepares to vote on a referendum on whether to stay in the European Union.

The polls show the race between Remain and Leave is narrower than ever and both camps are pushing hard before the poll next Thursday (June 23).

The latest poll suggests the Leave campaign is pulling in more support as the vote approaches. The Ipsos MORI poll for the Evening Standard has Leave with 53 per cent of the vote and Remain on 47 per cent cent. Just a week ago Leave was 10 points lower and Remain 10 higher.

But what do the bookies say? They have been studying the campaigns closely and today show Leave narrowing the odds gap on Remain - but still place Remain as an odds on favourite to win.
