No.
No matter what it said, it would by definition cede yet further power from elected parliamentarians to unelected judges.
The Attlee Government would have been severely hampered, or even completely neutered, by any written Constitution. Never mind one written on the back of a Rizla, or in the margins of some Trotskyist rag, thirty or forty years ago.
Economic and social rights would have been, and would be, restricted by their constitutional definition at an arbitrary point in time. If there is any good in a proposed written Constitution, then work towards that good within the existing arrangements.
But no matter what, vote against the thing itself.
