Jeremy Corbyn has refused to commit to reducing immigration into the UK even after Brexit.

The Labour leader said there would be “managed migration” when Britain leaves the EU but declined to put a figure on the level he would like to see.

Prime Minister Theresa May has pledged to cut net migration to the tens of thousands – in the third Tory General Election manifesto in a row to make the commitment. The most recent figures showed annual net migration into the UK was at 273,000.

But Mr Corbyn told ITV: “I'm not going to put any figures on it, Theresa May has done that for, this is now the third General Election she's promised figures none of which she's come anywhere near to achieving.

“Clearly the free movement ends when we leave the European Union but there will be managed migration and it will be fair."

Pressed repeatedly on whether he is wealthy, Mr Corbyn, who was entitled to a salary of more than £138,000 as an MP and Leader of the Opposition, insisted he was not, because of "where I put the money", although he refused to elaborate on that.

"I consider myself well paid for what I do and I am wanting to say to everyone who's well off, make your contribution to our society," he said

The Labour leader reflected on a "wonderful" and "very liberal" upbringing in Shropshire but revealed his discomfort at attending a private prep school and then a grammar.

"I went to a grammar school which I didn't like because of its selectivity, and I didn't like because of the aspects of implicit privilege that all the boys that went there were taught," he said.

Mr Corbyn sidestepped questions about whether he would quit if he led Labour to electoral defeat.

"We are fighting to win, I'm proud to lead this party and I'll lead this party to win the General Election, that's the only question at the moment," he said.
