Andy Burnham, Prime Minister, whom Tory leader Kemi Badenoch said "hasn't thought this through" after he refused to rule out a return to EU free movement.Nigel Farage, who called Prime Minister Andy Burnham 'deluded' for claiming EU-era immigration was less difficult than today's uncontrolled levels.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham claims pre-Brexit migration 'wasn't as difficult' as today's, with 'revolving door' workers coming and then going home. He insists the 'balance of migration has changed' and wants an 'honest discussion'. Labour's 2024 manifesto ruled out free movement, yet he suggested it was not a red line. He meets EU chiefs at a Brussels summit on November 20.
Nigel Farage said Burnham was 'deluded to say immigration was different' inside the EU.
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp warned it means 'handing back control of our borders'.
Kemi Badenoch said the PM 'hasn't thought this through or the implications'.
