Labour defends Corbyn’s refusal to share platform

SENIOR Labour figures are backing Jeremy Corbyn’s decision to stay simply red in the EU referendum campaign by refusing to share a platform with David Cameron.

Multimillionaire singer Mick Hucknall criticised the Labour leader on Monday night for refusing to take part in a cross-party Remain event.

The Simply Red frontman and former Labour donor wrote on Twitter: “What a shabby, spineless coward Jeremy Corbyn is proving to be. Either fully commit to #LabourIn OR #LabourLeave or GO! #Brexit” with chicken emojis to ram home the message.
