‘Vote Remain for jobs and rights at work’ – Jeremy Corbyn and other leading Labour figures launch last 48 hours call to action, urging people to vote for their and their families’ future

As the referendum campaign enters its final two days of campaigning, Jeremy Corbyn will lead a rallying call to Labour members, supporters and the country as a whole, urging them to vote remain to protect jobs and rights at work.

This call will be echoed across the day as Labour coordinates a range of activity:

-          Jeremy Corbyn and Alan Johnson will be in Manchester

-          Gordon Brown will be in Glasgow

-          Harriet Harman and Ed Miliband will be in Birmingham  

-          Margaret Beckett and Alan Johnson will be in Derby

-     Neil Kinnock will be in Cardiff

Ahead of the day of action, Leader of the Labour Party Jeremy Corbyn said:

“These next hours will shape Britain’s future for years to come.

“For all the arguments of recent weeks, this Thursday’s decision can be boiled down to one crucial question: what’s best for jobs in Britain, rights at work and our future prosperity?

“On 23rd June we are faced with a choice: do we remain to protect jobs and prosperity in Britain that depend on trade with Europe?

Or do we step into an unknown future with Leave, where a Tory-led Brexit risks economic recovery and threatens a bonfire of employment rights?

“A vote for remain is a vote to put our economy first. On Thursday join me in voting remain to protect jobs and rights at work.”
