A YouGov poll for Sky News reveals 56% of voters would support continuing freedom of movement with the EU.

Among Tory voters, 46% said they would oppose continuing freedom of movement, compared with only 16% among Labour voters and 11% among Lib Dems.

The poll also suggests freedom of movement is more popular in London and Scotland and least popular in the north of England, where only 52% backed it. "We will reduce immigration overall while being more open and flexible to the highly skilled people we need, such as scientists and doctors," she said.

Home Office minister Brandon Lewis told BBC Radio 4's Today programme:"We are not setting some arbitrary target."That gives us control and we can then see immigration being reduced."

Do we hell as like. Another Sky News lie.

One word Bollacks

And just how did they figure that out? Selective questions to selected groups perhaps as usual

Not in my area!

That surprises me.because on QT last night when any one on panel mentioned us NEEDING immigration the audience were silent nobody applauded, until someone mentioned controls

Not true, fake news!

I'm now thinking Sky News is as broke and fake as politics is. Spreading fake news now. skynewsoutoftouchwiththebritishpublic.

Where do you get this bollox fake news from?

How many did you ask, how did you choose who to ask, what demographic, age etc. You could say it was a majority having asked only 100 people, utter nonsense

Who are you polling?

Yep who voted all the people from the EU countrys!!!

FakeNews

You are FakeNews

Based on the selective extrapolation of data, after taking into account the views of the last three people to leave the 'lock-in' at the local pub where the sky news researcher regularly hangs out. All perfectly reasonable and statistically valid. Honest (You)Guv 😂

We should have more workers from the Philippines etc , much better workers, if we leave europe, there’s plenty other nationalities we can use, the Eastern European’s shouldn’t have the monopoly.

No no no that means more migrants using nhs housing jobs and more illegals given a route in no more it must stop!!!

EU should not allow this

No no no

Freedom of movement for holidays and business travel-yes, freedom to settle-only if have a job-that works both ways.

There's a saying, something about wanting and gobbling down cakes. If you're not in the EU, you don't get to enjoy EU benefits.

More BS from sky

Sky News needs to get out more.

I do like an impartial view, I just don’t know where to find one, certainly not here, but it is Sky.

Tosh!!

Rubbish.

What a load of rubbish!

Did you poll 34 million people?

More nonsense, from sly news. Yawn.

You didnt ask me and my answer is.... Fuck freedom of movement! Brexit FreedomOfMovement

does not mean they will stay here.

Did you ask anyone outside of London?

What does the elusive Diane Abbott have to say on the subject?

Bollocks, I was still able to ‘cast a vote’ way after the apparent result came out.

SandraDunn1955

Who did you poll ? Drug dealers ?

Majority of Remain voters. Fake news.

Due to your laughable bias few Brexit supporters watch your shite. So a 'Sky News' (😂) poll is going to be slightly skewed, don't you think?

So let's stay in the EU

Bull shit.

Apparently getting stopped entering and leaving a country to check who you are and where you are going is a very bad thing.

Was the people polled all U.K. citizens allowed to vote in the U.K. ? Or just the usual sky polls ?

Fake news.

Except into the country otherwise British taxpayers will be able to go wherever and whenever they want It’s gonna be great!

I doubt it very much. Dodgy polling.

Bullshit

Koi carp

Erm I dont think so...mainly VoteLeave won because of this🤔

Why deny UK citizens the opportunity to work,live,study&travel freely within the EU which we have enjoyed for 40year. UK Govt has never implemented EU rules allowed on immigration& chosen not to enforce EU restrictions. It can insist on work permits.Spain require foreigner ID No.

Well that was the point of Brexit. To stop it.

BS as usual

I’ve never been ‘polled’. slynews

No they don't, Stop telling lies ' This is Fake News !

Bullshit...

Bullshit!!

What utter rubbish fromthe Remain Channel . So 17.5 million have been wrong and wanted it reduced and a points system to stop scumbags entering and getting g free money and housing did you not forget the 3026 campayn 💩 💩 Crap

Let’s have ECJ FOM freemarket = EU membership betterin no one want to be outside looking in

No they don’t

Wow. Really? People want reciprocal rights to live, work and study in the EU and EEC Never! 🤔😩

No we don’t we want targeted movement If that means a points based system then so be it We have ex service personnel who can’t get a home after serving their country they should come before people coming to our country

Project fear again

Bullshit

Deport deport deport!

Brought to you on behalf of the Labour Party

Bullshit

Said no one, ever!

Another poll carried out in London then ?

Ha sky you are so fake news ! Seriously ! The polls indicate majority want it ! What rubbish ok go through 40 of the replies here from your tweet maybe 1 says yes that would be great to keep it going the other 39 said ! No close our border

No me

kvnbhrly1 You can make up anything in this day and age...

No we don't that is what Brexit is all about

The whole thing that changed 17.4 million was controlling our border ! Sky you really do speak some crap ! So fake news

What crap !

Stop the nonsense

Where do they do their polls, it’s obviously not here on earth

Ahhhhh nah. You and you’re lies.

Fake news.

Nope 👎

That’s FakeNews poll

Bollocks..

Rubbish

It’s time it was stressed that free movement benefits Brits too !

That destroys the remainers myth then that leave voters are racist and all voted leave because of immigration

So we should

Lies 🤥

Not for me... it doesnt work

No

Bull shit

Sly news at it again.......liebour lovers!

Do they bollox

Too bad so sad, won't happen.

Strange when so many voted out due to immigration!

**FAKE NEWS ALERT!!!**

Where was this poll carried out? I don't remember being asked the question in my home city of Leeds.

They should have thought about that before voting in 2016, FoM is a fundamental principle of the EU

Bollox do we

My Sister in laws are Greek and polish and I now live in Spain so yes keeping freedom of movement is something I would love!

Bullshit

fake news again

I don't even have to do a poll to say this is probably a lie

This General election needs to be about immigration, like it or not the Brexit result was the result of ignoring the British public screaming enough is enough and not just from Europe ! Bollocks to what we keep being told mass imagination is destroying and dividing this nation.

Rubbish!

Nope 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 keep them out / get them out

Was this poll conducted in London

Did they pop into a Lib Dem meeting for the sample? What do you think is one of, number 1 for some, the reasons for Brexit? Keep pushing your fake news though.

Sky news, can we believe it, probably not.

Most want free movement for the British, but not for other Europeans. We will have to learn we are not special. At some time in the future we may have to wait in a queue at an airport while the North Macedonians walk past. Our own fault.

So what’s the point In brexit if people want to keep free movement?

fakenews

Really

Total bs

Poll of people in London only!

Not me
