Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has attacked UK Home Secretary Priti Patel for her “ludicrous” immigration plans that would see freedom of movement for EU nationals ending on October 31 in the event of a no-deal Brexit.

Corbyn, speaking at the Business and Technology Centre in Stevenage, urged Patel to “cut out the nonsense” and not impose restrictions on EU nationals living in Britain. He explained that the UK relies on EU citizens to maintain industries and public services, and so killing off freedom of movement so bluntly makes no sense.

The3million, a citizens group that represents the right of EU nationals living in the UK, has warned that the new immigration plans for a no-deal Brexit Britain were “reckless.”

However, a Home Office spokesperson defended the proposals, insisting that Patel “has been clear in her intention to take back control of our borders and end free movement after 31 October.”
