Brexit: Jeremy Corbyn urges caution on single market
Jeremy Corbyn has promised to listen to Labour members' calls to keep the UK in the EU single market - but warned it could hamper the government's ability to protect jobs and invest in industry. The Labour leader said EU restrictions on state aid and pressure to privatise sectors like rail could cause problems. He also predicted "a lot" of people would continue to come from the EU to work in the UK after Brexit.
