No we don't necessarily need policies to deal with 29m but unless we have some idea how many might/will come how on Earth can we expect our infrastructure to keep up? Why oh why wasn't a cap allowed beyond which any member state could opt out of free movement and shut the gates? Surely that would assist any planning and reduce the risk of vast numbers coming in over relatively short periods. Given that doing anything significant within London, in particular, takes years and involves huge disruption and expense, the prospect that its population can just carry on growing, as Khan supports, is frightening.

The EU will never allow us to control the numbers of EU citizens who can come here and the fact that there was no movement at all on this, despite the widely stated claim that the EU could swing to the right, destabilise or even implode if the UK leaves, says it all really. The Brussels elite would apparently rather risk the entire project than compromise on free movement. Such utter arrogance and intransigence doesn't bode well...
