I think Helen's article was specifically saying that the private sector can't prioritise local services as that would be discrimination within the single market.

Ok I haven't read that, which one is it?
There are some things you can't do due to the open market agreements in the EU (the Bolkenstein agreement is one example of said agreements) but Corbyn is delusional if he thinks the EU will bend over backwards for him with some custom deal where he can cherry pick on open market access rules.
So, if he truly wants none of that, it's leaving the Single Market and that's going to cause a whole lot of economic problems and problems for Northern Ireland.
The risk/benefit analysis just doesn't work in my view, well...I could of course be wrong, I hope I am obviously.

What he says, to me still reads as: "Restricting immigration based on skills"
This may, or may not (some other EU countries have tighter rules than the UK, Austria is one of them) mean issues with staying in the SM. Too vague.
It's all so hard to make conclusions without a clear plan from Corbyn, and there's no guarantee the EU gives a custom package. [It's of course perfectly reasonable to enforce UK laws that already state you need to advertise and search locally first...but you don't need to leave the EU/SM for that]
"Will of the people" stuff :/
