Labour have said that the first thing they'd do would be to guarantee the rights of EU citizens already living in Britain, but as far as I know they've never said they would maintain freedom of movement. It just seems hard to understand how they would want to get this past the EU's insistence on the 'four freedoms'. Perhaps they think they won't get their view past Parliament, anyway, and are just using it as a 'compromise' to try and unite Labour. As so little detail has been made available, I still don't understand it, though.
