most notably abandonment of free movement principles

now the interesting thing is

this might win back labour leave voters, but how will the 69% (yougov) of labour voters who were remain react?

one interpretation was

"Corbyn's new year gift to Tim Farron"

"Corbyn wants to restrict freedom of movement but have full access to the single market. You can't. So what is the point of this speech?"

one BBC reporters writes

"It's absolutely f****goldstar bonkers" "he came up with it off the top of his head" one Labour Party source tells me of Corbyn wage cap idea.

(allegedly not discussed in shad cab before he announced it)
