SIR Keir Starmer, Labour's shadow Brexit secretary, will visit Worcester on Thursday.

Mr Starmer is due to take a tour around the Worcester Bosch factory and speak to Labour Party members in the city.

Stuart Thomson, chair of Worcestershire for Europe, said: "I would say to Mr Starmer that now is the time for Labour to get off the fence.

"If you support a People's Vote I think Labour will walk into government. They will lose some of their hard left Corbyn supporters but the majority of the Labour Party want to do what's right for the people of this country.

"We are an agricultural county, I was talking to a farmer last night in the Nag's Head in Malvern. His concern is where is his seasonal workforce going to come from?

"He hires Bulgarians and Romanians and he has no idea who's going to pick the cherries and asparagus after Brexit."

Mr Thomson said the farmer assumed the Government would turn to the commonwealth for immigrants to fill these roles, due to the low unemployment rate in the UK.

Lynn Denham, Labour's parliamentary candidate for Worcester, was unavailable for comment.
