The Labour leader delivers his first major pro-EU speech in London this morning
Jeremy Corbyn will deliver his starting speech around the EU referendum this morning, arguing that ‘the Labour party is overwhelmingly for residing in, because we know the European Union has taken investment, jobs and protection for workers, consumers as well as the environment, and will be offering the best possibility of meeting the contests we face today.’
While arguing towards international co-operation and collective EU action, Corbyn will likely defend his record of EU criticism and emphasise the requirement of reform:
“Over time I have kept critical of numerous decisions taken from the EU and I remain critical of that shortcomings, looking at the lack of democratic accountability on the institutional pressure to deregulate or privatise public services . . . Europe must change. But that change could only come from using the services of our allies within the EU.”
Apparently cautious of repeating Labour’s controversial alliance together with the Tories within the Scottish referendum, Corbyn’s speech will attack the Tory government’s effectiveness progressive EU reform.
On steel, he can point out that other governments in Europe, including Germany, Italy, France and Spain, have successfully protected their steel industries, indicating that this fundamental issue not together with the EU but while using current UK government.
“The European Commission proposed new tariffs on Chinese steel but it really was the UK Government that blocked these co-ordinated efforts to prevent Chinese steel dumping.Those proposals are still within the table. So today I ask David Cameron and George Osborne to to get started on sticking up for British steel and assist our willing European partners to secure its future.”
Pointing to your fact that Tory MEPs have consistently voted against tries to control tax evasion, he believes ‘it is apparent what the main Vote Leave vision is: for Britain for being the safe home of choice for the ill-gotten gains of the dodgy oligarch, dictator, or rogue corporation.’
Corbyn is extensively criticised although in the past for his failure to look at a strong stance within the referendum. Although he argues today there's ‘a robust socialist case for keeping’, his dogged insistence about the need for reform might be perceived as half-heartedness.
Also this morning, Labour MP Chuka Umunna will deliver a pro-European speech on the Business Centre Association, arguing that British businesses overwhelmingly support Remain and which the Leave campaign, by claiming otherwise, is ‘guilty of selling dodgy goods on the British public.’
