EU referendum: Jeremy Corbyn targets young voters EU referendum: Jeremy Corbyn targets young voters
(about 11 hours later)
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn will urge young people to register to vote ahead of the EU referendum in June. The Labour leader will urge young people to "take control" of their future and vote to remain in the EU.
He will say "a vote to remain is about taking control of your future" - at a voter registration drive later. Jeremy Corbyn will say the next generation will be most affected by the outcome of the referendum on 23 June.
The Labour leader will say the next generation will be most affected by the outcome of the referendum on 23 June. Former Tory PM Sir John Major will say party colleagues campaigning for "Brexit" risk "morphing in to UKIP" by going on about immigration.
Earlier Saga criticised Lib Dem peer Lord Campbell - saying he had suggested older voters were being "selfish" if they backed leaving the EU. But UKIP's Nigel Farage said the Leave camp's "strongest hand" was that the UK could take back control of its borders.

Polls suggest that the under-30s are the most pro-EU but are least likely to vote, while older voters are more likely to favour Brexit.Polls suggest that the under-30s are the most pro-EU but are least likely to vote, while older voters are more likely to favour Brexit.
The Labour leader will say his party now has "more members under 27 than UKIP or the Lib Dems have in total membership" adding: "It fills me with hope to know that our movement is reaching out to young people again, because it is you that must shape your future.

Earlier the former Lib Dem leader Lord Campbell, 74, appealed to his own generation to "think of your children and your grandchildren when casting your vote, and what kind of world you want to bequeath to them". In London, former Labour deputy leader Harriet Harman, will say women's rights have been strengthened by the EU - and urge women not to assume that they will remain in place, should the UK vote to leave as they had been "bitterly opposed".
"You have benefited from decades of peace, prosperity and security that are down to the existence of the European Union," he said. She will say: "Why should we trust the likes of Boris Johnson, Iain Duncan Smith or Nigel Farage with our rights as women? Even if they say they'd guarantee not to go below the rights for women that the EU guarantees - I don't trust them as far as I can throw them."
"Our younger people know this and have benefited from the single market and the right to travel, study and work freely throughout the European Union." And at a speech at Oxford University, former Conservative PM John Major will suggest some of his party colleagues who are campaigning for the UK to leave the EU risk "morphing into UKIP" by turning "to their default position - immigration".
But Saga's communications director Paul Green said: "The notion that older voters are selfish is just plain wrong. In fact, the grey vote is more community spirited and less self-centred than younger voters." "This is their trump card. I urge them to take care, this is dangerous territory that - if handled carelessly - can open up long-term divisions in our society," he will say.
But UKIP leader Nigel Farage told LBC Radio that the "Remain" campaign knew that "the strongest hand that the Leave camp have got is that by leaving the EU, we get back control of our borders and we would be able to put in place an Australian-style points system."
But he said the official Vote Leave campaign, of which UKIP is not a part, "don't think I should exist" and were "more concerned about Conservative Party politics" than winning the referendum.
Asked about Bank of England Governor Mark Carney's comments on Thursday that a vote to leave could hit the UK economy, Mr Farage dismissed "all these forecasts of doom and gloom" adding: "Mr Carney is paid out of the public purse and is doing the government's bidding isn't he?"
He added: "The whole apparatus of government at every level is being mobilised to tell us what we should think.... I suspect he would be fired if he didn't take the government's side."
