Cooper: Don’t let Tories monopolise debate on the EU

LABOUR must do more to stop the EU referendum being “hijacked” by Tories vying for the party leadership, former minister Yvette Cooper said yesterday.

Ms Cooper warned that the debate over Britain’s future was being used as a “increasingly hysterical battle” for control over the Tory Party.

She said Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and the whole party “should do more” to prevent the media fixating on personality politics and put real issues on the agenda.
