Former Labour PM enters debate, attacks negative tone of remain campaign and says UK should be leading Europe not leaving it
Gordon Brown has waded into the European Union referendum debate, calling on the remain camp to make a more positive case for staying in.
Implicitly criticising the negative tone of those campaigning to keep Britain in the EU, the former Labour prime minister and MP said he wanted to make a "positive, principled, patriotic case" for a continuation of Britain's 43-year-old links with the bloc.
