A leading Yorkshire businessman has thrown his weight behind the anti-euro campaign group, Business for Stirling.

John Hornby, chairman and chief executive of direct marketing firm the Lettershop Group, said: "Britain is a global trading nation and we do more business with the rest of the world than we do with the Eurozone."

He added: "Joining the euro would threaten our prosperity because it would lead to more job-destroying regulations as well as the UK being forced to accept a one-size-fits-all interest rate."
