(ITV News, 02/06/2016)

Mr Corbyn will state his party is "overwhelmingly for staying in" because of the investment, jobs and rights the bloc has brought.
At the Institute of Engineering Technology, the 67-year-old will highlight the importance of "these gains".
"It means workers throughout Europe have decent rights at work, meaning it's harder to undercut terms and conditions across Europe", he will say.
