The party is already signed up to the hopeful policies of the Party of European Socialists, says Guardian columnist Zoe Williams

With the European elections now all but an inevitability, Nigel Farage has made his position pretty clear: he’d like five weeks of unbridled rage, festooned with unwarranted respectability by the increasingly wild decisions of the BBC. There being little space to the right of Farage, those who would vie for it have threatened a boycott instead.

Not bloody likely!! Do NOT vote labour Vote libdems

FFS NO!!!! Do NOT vote labour FOOL ME once shame on you, FOOL ME TWICE SHAME ON ME !

So why does my 2017 vote for Lab in a Con/Lab constituency keep getting cited in support of brexit?! Why is this outrageous misrepresentation of my vote & reasons for is occasionally endorsed and rarely challenged by Lab MPs or leadership?

“Labour is not the party of Remain” - Barry Gardiner. You must think we’re stupid.

🤣

I don't fear UKLabour , it's just that I'd rather give my vote to the LibDems or TheGreenParty who are truly European. uklabour has let me down so badly. jeremycorbyn may have been the choice of the party members but he's a hard sell for voters, especially Remoaners like me.

Are you saying that to the 62% of Scottish people?

Yeah right. You have to say that for a reason

Isn't there a typo Surely it should read There's nothing wrong with backing AWAY from Labour in the E.U elections

Im afraid I have no faith in Corbyn to present a front against the Brexit crisis given his own interest in having it happen.

Labour policy as OwenJones84 likes to remind us is to respect the Referendum( ignoring the suspected criminality around it) so we won't be part of this wonderful reforming enterprise anyway.

Politically biased comments You have still got everything to fear from Labour led by J Corbyn

Except I’m told live is more than just paying bills and working and Labour and EU is provong just the opposite 🤔

Lots to fear now. Less to fear if Labour ditch jeremycorbyn and momentum. I will never vote for a party whose leader doesn't follow party policy.

'We can fixate on the persistence of a pro-Brexit faction within Labour – unarguably, it exists –..' Sorry, but this is disengenous. Corbyn is anti-EU and pro-Brexit. You can't dismiss a party leader's views as being part of a 'faction'.

The leader of the Labour party is in favour of Brexit. Vote Plaid. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Plaid Cymru is the only option. Bye 👋

By voting for a party lead by a life-long Eurosceptic? I'll vote Plaid thank you very much, they'll stand up for Wales

Wrong. By their own admission, Labour is a Brexit Party (thanks, Barry Gardiner). And they’re currently in talks with the Govt to end Freedom Of Movement. No Remainer should vote Labour in EP2019. Especially as pro-EU MEPs are being pushed replaced by Corbyn’s cronies.

Of course you haven't , they'll just roll over and bow to the EU 's command..exactly what remainers want.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

What unbridled nonsense. Labour is finished in Scotland. We have a proper pro-EU party to vote for.

The EU elections have proportional representations so if you are a Remainer,vote for an actual Remain party not a party that will allow some form of Brexit.

SenSchumer

sfpelosi pick neither? Why is not other choice?

EU elections or referendum now will be rerun of “cake and eat it” v “project fear”. Idea: leave and hold referendum in 2 years on pending EU-UK trade and future relations deal, with re-join on current terms as option. Vote on facts + EU-27 won’t face sabotage during negotiations.

No way. Brexit is the biggest political issue in decades and a colossal mistake. The EU elections are the nations chance to send a signal to Westminster that we need to call the whole thing off before it's too late.

No but leaver's do !

Nonsense. A vote for Labour is a vote for brexit.

Nobody believes that Zoë.

Sorry. No. Unless the actual leadership comes out unambiguously in favour of at least a People's Vote, and for preference the revocation of A50 there's NO WAY they'll be getting my vote.

Cannot have a decisive voice? It’s leading the party!!

The Labour Party’s consistent political position, in contrast, with the chaotic attitudes of the Conservative party, is objective.

exCameramanJim Rubbish. Labour's policy is to leave the EU.

Yes we do. Corbyn is known for his anti EU views and favours brexit. Until this has been resolved nothing else from a EU perspective matters as not being members means we'll have no seat at the table or influence.

Trouble is the 'pro Brexit faction' is in charge of the Party. They can't just be ignored. Remainers should not vote for Labour.

Nothing to see here, nothing to fear. Apart from...if you voted to leave the EU we are going to call you a N*zi or something equally as delightful, thick, in hock to e.g Russians, lied to, uneducated and plain wrong. Yeah, vote Labour.

Does uklabour want us to Remain or Leave?

To think the the remain crowd will let Farage in by the back door. justice

The sh*t storm coming from the EU elections will change this country forever.

The frequency with which we as remainers are seeing the message to support Labour in spite of their views on Europe is truly disheartening. Indicative of a party leadership for the few not the many.

That’s it vote labour mass immigration on a new level will happen , an amnesty to all terrorists, country will be bankrupt and if you are working class you will be even more abandoned!!!!!

So you’re more than happy to sacrifice potentially 5 Million labour leave voters

Even remainers fear Marxist surely

😂

Ha, ha, your kidding, right?

Corbyn has been & will be a disaster. Dishonest on key policies & a feckless history, at war with the views of the membership, and a prisoner of a reborn Militant Tendency. Essentially Williams says trust him!

Except that Labour has Brexiteers at the helm and are driving us towards destruction.

Yes, do not fear communism, vote labour, stalin will be proud of you.

I'm not sure how much good imploring Guardian readers to vote Labour will do. Those who will, will, and those who won't are likely not because Labour refuse to throw their weight behind a PV, and are coy about any remain message at all.

Yes I do. The Greens have 3 MEPs and I'd rather we got more than less. I'm not going to vote Labour so stop asking me to!

Dear god, the delusion level is critical
