Asked on Sky News if a future Labour government would reintroduce the free movement of people between the UK and the EU, Shadow Home Secretary Diane Abbott said: “Once we come out of the single market, freedom of movement falls.”
Presenter Kay Burley responded by saying, “Norway’s not in the single market and yet they have free movement.”
