Scottish Labour leader: Tomorrow not the day to cast protest vote

"Tomorrow is not the day to cast a protest vote", Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale MSP warned voters at a Labour In for Britain event.

Ms Dugdale told how she had "been here before", with regards to the future of a country in a referendum and urged voters to think about "what type of country do we want to be?"

She argued that as part of the European Union, the UK could work to tackle world issues such as the refugee crisis and climate change.

"The EU secures millions of jobs across UK, protects the rights of workers, and gives young people opportunities that were unthinkable to previous generations," the Scottish Labour leader said as she appeared at the event alongside Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn, London Mayor Sadiq Khan, and First Minister of Wales Carwyn Jones AM at the event in Kings Cross, London.
