BREXIT would set the Tories free to light a bonfire of workers’ rights, Jeremy Corbyn (pictured) warned yesterday as he made the “socialist case” for remaining in the European Union.

The Labour leader predicted legislation on equal rights, maximum working hours, paid holiday and agency workers would all be set ablaze if there is a Leave vote on June 23.

He conjured a nightmare scenario of a government led by Boris Johnson and backed by Nigel Farage that would “negotiate the worst of all worlds — a free market free-for-all shorn of rights and protections.”
