  • Er, he said both versions in the Marr interview.

    “It would be a managed thing on the basis of the skills required,” he said of his
    party’s future immigration policy. “What there wouldn’t be is
    whole-scale importation of underpaid workers from central Europe in
    order to destroy conditions, particularly in the construction
    industries.”

    Pressed on how his party would restrict immigration,
    Corbyn said: “You prevent agencies recruiting for jobs like that, you
    advertise for jobs in the locality first … It would be on the basis on
    the economic need and skills required. The need for nurses is huge …
    we have to be sensible about this.”

  • The Guardian has fuller quotes of the segue between the two sets of comments, see above. Finding a video clip is proving fiddly. But Helen Lewis plays a straight bat in my experience, FWIW.
