JEREMY Corbyn has put a letter to Theresa May outlining five binding commitments she must agree to and obtain agreement with Brussels if she expects Labour support!
Therein lies the problem! Many aspects of his five binding points are not compatible with the four freedoms and are simply his version of cherry-picking arising from his being a closet Leaver.

Furthermore, the EU Commission, the EU Parliament and the 27 have to agree and are more likely to say “Non!”
So what is his point? Perhaps he does not know! Is he simply grandstanding? At this late stage it is simply too late!
Jeremy Corbyn is chasing unicorns too at this stage, and the signal it sends to Brussels is simply another mixed-up variable in the Westminster chaos.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
