Former PM Brown urges Labour supporters to vote 'in' on EU

LONDON (AP) — Former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown made an impassioned call Monday for Labour Party supporters to vote to stay in the European Union, amid nervousness in the "remain" camp that it is losing momentum ahead of next week's referendum.

Brown's speech is considered significant because his last-minute intervention during the 2014 Scottish independence referendum is credited with bolstering support for remaining part of the United Kingdom.

Labour leaders are increasingly worried that many of their working-class supporters plan to vote "leave," or are confused about where their party stands.

With just 10 days to go until the vote, other senior Labour figures are stepping up their campaigning.

Do you know why these consequences are so dangerous?

Because in the long-term they are completely unpredictable.
