European elections: Tom Watson 'pleads' for votes despite Labour position

In it, he will say he believes Mr Smith would have supported the view of his former deputy, Dame Margaret Beckett, and backed a"People's Vote".

Mr Watson will also say that"corrosive far-right sentiment, posing as patriotism, will dominate this EU election". "There are only two forces that can win this election - that nasty nationalism of the Farage Brexit Party, or the tolerant, compassionate outward-looking patriotism of the Labour Party. "I can only plead with Labour supporters - don't stay at home, don't put that cross elsewhere, don't let them win."

Mr Watson had called for his party to promise a referendum on any Brexit deal in its European elections manifesto.Talks between representatives from the government and Labour are set to continue on Monday - Mrs May is hoping to reach a cross-party consensus on her withdrawal agreement after failing to get it through Parliament three times.

Jeremy Corbyn ally Richard Burgon says Labour doesn't exist to stop BrexitRichard Burgon criticised parties with one aim of stopping Brexit as he said Labour would not walk away lightly from talks. It exists to help the Tories with Brexit, apparently. ‘What is the point of Jeremy Corbyn?’ -Mitch Benn There’s a whole song about this. It’s great. ‘Brexits a con, the Tory’s are conmen’.
