Labour Produce 'Five Bullet Points For Europe'
The Labour party has published five bullet point laying out their position on Europe, including making it a priority to tackle the cost-of-living crisis and to reform the EU " so it works better for Britain".
The bullet points are:
• The next Labour government's priority will be dealing with the cost-of-living crisis and the NHS, not getting out of the EU;
• We will reform the EU so it works better for Britain because we can do better than the status quo;
• We will introduce a new law to stop powers transferring to Brussels without the British people having a say;
• The law will guarantee that no power can be transferred from Britain to the EU without an in/out referendum;
• There are no proposals to transfer powers so Ed Miliband has said an in/out referendum will be possible, but is unlikely.
