Jeremy Corbyn argues that there is "a strong socialist case for staying in the European Union, just as there is also a powerful socialist case for reform and progressive change in Europe".

He addressed his previous Euroscepticism, saying: "Over the years I have been critical of many decisions taken by the EU, and I remain critical of its shortcomings; from its lack of democratic accountability to the institutional pressure to deregulate or privatise public services.

"So Europe needs to change. But that change can only come from working with our allies in the EU. It's perfectly possible to be critical and still be convinced we need to remain a member."
