Ed Miliband warns voters against Brexit ‘free market experiment’

Ed Miliband is warning Labour voters that if they fail to turn out and vote to keep Britain in the European Union on 23 June, the country will become the laboratory for a rightwing, free market experiment.
As he prepares to mark his return to frontline politics after Labour’s bruising defeat in the general election, Miliband is to give a major speech at a Labour in for Britain event alongside the former home secretary Alan Johnson on Tuesday.
He will urge the 9 million people who voted Labour last May not to be distracted by the turmoil in the Tory party from turning out to back remain.
“This is not about David Cameron, and this is not about who leads the Tory party after David Cameron. It’s about the future of the country. We’re going to be having to live with the consequences of this well after David Cameron’s gone, and George Osborne’s gone,” he told the Guardian.
