Not really, he does not support freedom of movement after Brexit.
So far I cannot find any data to support dirty furrin's like me have to be regulated with complex (and therefore costly) visa system to ensure life is fair for everyone in the UK.
He talks the talk, partially walks the walk but he's not willing to accept FoM despite all the data showing that EU nationals put more money in the pot and despite EU laws allowing some restrictions...
...and let's just say UK people were welcome when the UK economy was poor 20-30 years ago. I met quite a few people here that told me "oh yeah i used to work in a Dutch factory! and came back to NI".
I am disappoint. I am also a worker. And yes, I wonder more and more if all these visa systems everywhere really achieve what they set out to set, unless it's just about a feeling of control, if so, then yes.
I understand he's not going to go "yeah, let's open the door to everyone!!!" after decades of anti immigration sentiment, but it would be nice if he would base decisions on data/old skool internationalism. Even so he's going against the tide, because the debate in the UK has gone pretty rotten.

I'm not so sure anymore.
It is all about "othering" of people. Immigrants not 100% equal to moral citizens ergo no empathy, no give way, you break one little rule and put you go.
The brexShit narrative just shows this, people waffle about control, vote for someone who promises it and that those people have no empathy, too bad.
Then this happens. So quote a few EU nationals are very nervous. The reduce/control immigration chat in the UK is the thin end of the wedge...
