Jeremy Corbyn attacks the government for ‘disarray’ while tripping over his own policies

For a man prepared to stick to his principles over decades, no matter how unpopular they make him, Jeremy Corbyn has changed his mind a remarkable number of times today. His latest stance on freedom of movement is as follows:

‘Labour is not wedded to freedom of movement for EU citizens as a point of principle, but I don’t want that to be misinterpreted, nor do we rule it out.’

This makes the party’s infamous ‘controls on immigration’ mug from the 2015 election look like such a simple, wholesome proposition. Here is the evolution of Corbyn’s stance:

Last night: Labour is not wedded to freedom of movement for EU citizens as a point of principle.

This morning: Labour isn’t going to restrict the rights of people to move to the UK.

Now, the party isn’t going to die in a ditch over freedom of movement, but neither is it abandoning its support for it.
