Labour Leave quits Vote Leave for being in ‘grip of the right’

LABOUR MPs and activists split with the supposedly cross-party Vote Leave campaign last night over concerns it is being dominated by a hard-right clique.

Labour Leave formally disaffiliated from the group to pursue an independent left-wing campaign to leave the EU.

Labour Leave co-chair Kate Hoey MP also confirmed she will not support Vote Leave’s bid to be designated the official out campaign by the Electoral Commission.
