Free movement is where the rubber’s going to meet the road with this idea of a new, closer relationship with the European Union. It’s the difference between the British people wanting to rejoin in theory and what it looks like in practice.

Perhaps it’s my scars from 2016, but I just think there’s a difference between asking the British people, ‘Do you want a closer relationship with the EU?’ in the abstract and, in the style of the Leave campaign: ‘Do you want a bunch of young Albanian and Moldovan men moving in next door?’
