Only Labour can stop the right at the European elections
Whether you voted Leave or Remain, a vote for Labour is the only way to bring our communities together, says RICHARD BURGON

IT WASN’T expected that European Union elections would be held next Thursday. But the Conservative government’s complete disarray means that they are.  

The elections are taking place in an atmosphere of division and frustration. There is a real threat of far-right and even fascist advance in these European Union elections. 

That’s one of the reasons why, whatever people’s views on the European Union or Brexit or what should happen next, people shouldn’t sit on their hands.
