Corbyn's immigration tightrope
Labour’s chasm over free movement of people is so vast it is a wonder that either side can even see the other. The first, from former shadow cabinet minister Caroline Flint, was part of a speech last month urging the party to commit to a full-blooded Brexit, outside the single market, customs union, and the realm of free movement of people. The second is from an open letter calling for Jeremy Corbyn to commit to continued free movement of EU citizens post-Brexit, signed by Labour MPs Clive Lewis, David Lammy and Geraint Davies.

Labour has maintained a narrow lead since the election, averaging 42-45%, with the Conservatives back on 40-41%. By the next election the Tories will have a new leader and the Article 50 Brexit negotiating deadline will probably have passed.

One of the reasons Labour performed strongly in the general election was the surge in support in Remain areas and among the young, so it’s ironic that this has allowed Jeremy Corbyn to consolidate his control of the party and enforce hard Brexit. Shadow Brexit secretary Keir Starmer, who for many months was gradually retreating on his demands for single market membership, has now effectively accepted defeat and adopted the hard Brexit position of Jeremy Corbyn. By the time Corbyn secured his surprisingly strong result, the game was up.
