Senior Labour MP Dan Jarvis: Brexit deal must control immigration

Ministers should “secure greater control over immigration” as they negotiate Brexit , a senior Labour MP says today.
In a coded warning to party leader Jeremy Corbyn , Dan Jarvis says the thorny issue is “a crucial test” for Labour.
But he urges his party not to try and “out-UKIP UKIP”, as it prepares to unveil Nigel Farage’s successor.

Scouser Paul Nuttall is expected to win the latest leadership contest – and target Labour voters in the North and Midlands.
Writing exclusively for the Mirror, Mr Jarvis says “Labour will learn more about the challenge we face” when the victor is unveiled.
He adds: “Any attempt to ‘out-UKIP UKIP’ won’t work.

“UKIP provides a home for anger and disillusionment, but no answers to the great questions we face as a country.
“Our task is not only to listen, but to provide the answers. That includes on immigration because the (EU) referendum result means that a further public debate on this is now inevitable.”
The Government “must bring forward proposals to secure greater control over immigration, while securing the brightest economic future which supports jobs and investment”, he says.

Shadow Foreign Secretary Emily Thornberry told the BBC the UK has too many people coming in because Britain “has a skills shortage” and “we’re not training enough people in this country”.
And she refused to rule out a second referendum, insisting: “I think we need to take this in stages.”
Meanwhile, three former frontbenchers from across the political divide will share a stage for the first time since the referendum as they call for Britain to stay in the single market.

Tory Anna Soubry, Labour’s Chuka Umunna and ex-Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg will launch a report Centre for Economics and Business Research showing how they rely on the single market.
Speaking at the Open Britain campaign event, Mr Umunna will say: “Every major sector of our economy is linked to the Single Market and could be harmed through an arrangement that prioritises one sector over another.
“The benefits we have within the Single Market cannot be replicated outside it without cost, since every alternative inevitably means increased barriers to trade.”
Brexiteer Michael Gove stepped up his attack on economic experts, after saying “people have had enough of experts” during the referendum campaign.


“Economists overall have to recognise that their profession is in crisis, that the economic profession failed to predict the 2008 financial crash; that economists in the past argued almost to a man and woman that we should enter the single currency, they were proven wrong; and then professionally they were proven wrong about the impact of Britain voting to leave the European Union,” he said.
The assault came amid reports Bank of England Governor Mark Carney is working on a secret plan to keep British businesses in the single market for at least two years after the country leaves the EU.
“Carney knows there needs to be a two to three-year extension to allow Britain to adjust from the old rules under Europe to the new order. His key word is continuity,” said a banker who attended a recent dinner with Mr Carney.
Prime Minister Theresa May suggested her Christianity will guide Brexit talks.

“I suppose there is something in terms of faith, I am a practising member of the Church of England and so forth, that lies behind what I do,” the vicar’s daughter told the Sunday Times.
“If you know you are doing the right thing, you have the confidence, the energy to go and deliver that right message.”
Meanwhile, ex-Chancellor George Osborne explained why he is staying in the Commons despite being sacked from the Treasury by Mrs May.

David Cameron quit No 10 after June’s vote and later stood down as an MP.
“I’ve just been on the losing side of a referendum. And the wrong response would be to say, ‘Well, the people have just made a mistake and I’m wiping my hands of that - I’m off.’
"I think it’s better to say, instead, ‘Why do the people think like this? What did I get wrong?’,” Mr Osborne told The Guardian.
