Labour blasted for ‘hiding the truth on immigration’
JEREMY Corbyn is prepared to open the floodgates to migrants as part of a deal with the European Union.
Jeremy Corbyn refuses to set a target figure for immigration
Despite promising that free movement will end when Britain leaves the EU, the Labour manifesto has revealed that if the party defies the polls and wins the election it will negotiate away controls on immigration with Brussels.
A line in the hard Left manifesto read: “New rules [on immigration] will be equally informed by negotiations with EU and other partners, including the Commonwealth.”

Labour also plans to hide thousands of immigrants by removing foreign students from the official figure contrary to internationally set measurements.
During the manifesto launch at Bradford University, Mr Corbyn launched an impassioned defence of high levels of immigration – which he refuses to set an annual cap.

He said: “Free movement that currently exists within the European Union, obviously at the time we leave the European Union that free movement doesn’t continue.
Labour has no desire to limit migratio
We will negotiate a trade agreement with the European Union that will ensure tariff-free access to the European Union and future migration will be based on a fair migration policy – a fairness towards our economy and needs of our people, and an end to the undercutting and exploitation that goes with it.”
Ukip are pushing for a zero net migration figure for the next five years
Ukip, who are pushing for a zero net migration figure for the next five years, condemned Labour’s failure to tackle immigration.
A Ukip spokesman said: “To remove students from the official figures is cosmetically attractive, but like real cosmetics it simply hides the truth.

“The fact is that Labour has no desire to limit migration and has no interest in the impact it has on ordinary communities and the working people who support them.”
The manifesto also confirmed that a Labour government would put Britain at a disadvantage by publicly stating it will not accept “no deal” with Brussels meaning it could be forced to accept a bad deal or whatever the EU is willing to offer.
