Workers rights seems to be one of Labour's main reason for backing Remain. It appears to be the case that Labour don't have any confidence in themselves being elected next time to put that right if the Tories, under Brexit do reverse some of the labour laws. Personally, even though I don't trust the Tories, I doubt that they would do that

Labour also don't seem to trust that the British public would cause an outcry if the Tories did try to introduce unfair Labour laws.

Labour need to concentrate on making themselves electable rather than relying on unelected officials from outside sources to do their job for them.

And as for them having any chance of reforming the EU... well, as that irritating currently popular saying goes... 'That's for the birds'.

Britain desperately needs an electable centre left party; and the current Labour party isn't it.
