has faced accusations that his campaigning for the Remain camp has been lukewarm&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>He said&colon; &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;It’s a big decision&period; If we stay in Europe there are implications&comma; if we leave Europe there are massive implications&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>&OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;But&comma; it is also a turning point because if we leave I don’t think there is an easy way back&period;

But I would also say that if we are to deal with issues like climate change&comma; like environmental issues&comma; you cannot do it within national borders&comma; you can only do it across national borders&period;”<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>And that’s not the only thing Corbyn was eager to criticise – he had a few things to say about the Leave campaign&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>He slammed Ukip leader Nigel Farage for promoting a &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;bigoted” poster hours before the killing of Labour MP Jo Cox&comma;
