Labour Party policy is to end freedom of movement. Absent an unprecedented concession from the EU, membership of the single market is tied to freedom of movement.

I'm not sure what planet you've been on for the last 30 years but Corbyn has always been against the EU. His performance in the referendum campaign demonstrates that whatever he may say to the contrary, he is still against it.

We are leaving the EU by the only route available. Out of the single market, out of the customs union, out of the free movement agreement.

There is no such thing as hard or soft Brexit. There is either leaving the EU, or not leaving it. Retaining Freedom of movement (no immigration control), Prevention of independent trade deals (the customs union) and supervision of all of the above by the ECJ while surrendering our seats in the Council and the Parliament (what some call "soft" Brexit) amount to *not* leaving the EU at all.
