Delegates backed motions urging Jeremy Corbyn, who visited Whitehawk FC in Brighton this week, to adopt radical policies on immigration and housing

Labour will campaign to extend free movement and give foreign nationals living in the UK the right to vote, under plans endorsed by the party’s conference yesterday.

As politicians rushed back from Brighton following the Supreme Court ruling on prorogation, party and trade union delegates pressed on with their work as Labour moves towards its most radical manifesto in decades.

A motion on immigration said that Labour must at the next election vow to “campaign for free movement, equality and rights for migrants”, to “maintain and extend free movement rights” and to “extend equal rights to vote to all UK residents”.

It also commits Labour to closing down immigration detention centres, to ensure an “unconditional right” to family reunion and to “actively challenge anti-immigrant narratives”.
