Bring all sides together to negotiate our future with Europe
It is vital to avoid the EU referendum result leaving an appalling legacy of division in the UK In 1981, the Labour party conference decided to leave the European Community despite the British people having voted to remain inside it six years earlier, in the 1975 referendum. At the time, I wrote a letter to the Guardian drawing attention to the desperate situation in which the centre-left found itself. Today, I raise a similar warning at a time when the country is in serious need of an effective opposition to maintain the best possible relationship with the EU.
