The message from Jeremy Corbyn today was that Brexit would be bad for your health - many in the leave campaign, he argued, are no friends of the NHS.

But some in his shadow cabinet believe Labour has to talk more about the issue that's concerning many of their traditional voters: immigration. And those voters have to hear practical proposals. Shadow home secretary Andy Burnham is calling for action to protect the living standards of skilled workers and prevent them from being undercut by migrants. 

He told me: "One of the most effective changes that can be done and done quickly is introduce new rules to protect skilled wages because at the moment companies have an incentive to bring in agency staff from around Europe.

"This would be fairer and at the same time reduce the pull factor. It would work by setting clear rules that the going rates for work in the skilled sector cannot be undermined because what we get at the moment is people brought in at the minimum wage that undercut electricians or plasterers or whatever it might be. 

"Those are practical policies that would make the free movement we have work more fairly for people."

Another shadow cabinet member told me he was picking up that some of the party's supporters were "weak Leave" and could be brought round to Remain by a clearer and more consistent campaign on issues that concerned them. Others said that voters simply needed reminding that the vast majority of Labour MPs back Remain.

Andy Burnham told me there is still time to win over the sceptics: "There's lots of people out there who still say they're not quite decided and not made up their mind and it’s those people we want to get to and we want to give them the clearest of messages this country's future is better off in the EU."

But his view isn't shared by all senior Labour politicians.

As one senior figure close to the unions put it: "People want change. If Brexit is the only change on offer, they’ll take it."

Asked if he's anti-Semitic, Ken Livingstone says it's an accusation that has been "thrown at me many times over the past 35 years" - and he says it's only thrown at him when he's being critical of the policies of the Israeli government.

His concern, he tells MPs, is that by denouncing criticism of the Israeli government as anti-Semitism it "blurs the issue". 

Anti-Semitism is a real problem that must be tackled, he adds.

Does he think anti-Semitism and racism are the same thing? Yes, he says - adding that any reports he has said otherwise are incorrect.

Ken Livingstone has just taken his seat in front of the Home Affairs Committee to give evidence as part of its inquiry into anti-Semitism.

Asked if he wishes to respond to the previous witnesses' criticism of him and comments he has made, the former London mayor says: "If I had said Hitler was a Zionist I would have apologised for that, because it is rubbish."

Is he concerned by the president of Board of Deputies of British Jews remarks that his comments were "abhorrent", Mr Livingstone adds: "Absolutely, and if I had said it I would agree it was abhorrent."

Seeking to clarify his remarks, he adds: "I stated a simple historical fact."

About one in six children did not get their first choice of secondary school, according to official admissions figures for England's schools.

Responding to the news, Employment Minister and Vote Leave campaigner Priti Patel said the shortage of school places "is yet another example of how uncontrolled migration is putting unsustainable pressures on our public services".

Ms Patel said that as long as the UK stays in the EU it is "completely unable" to control the numbers of people coming to the country - and warned of further EU expansion.

The Home Affairs Committee is now taking evidence from SNP Westminster leader Angus Robertson. He says elected representatives have to be very careful about the words they use, and adds: 

Asked if he condemns the comments made by Ken Livingstone, he says, "Yes", telling chairman Keith Vaz: "There's no excuse for it."

So he did not think Sandra White - an SNP MSP who apologised unreservedly after retweeting a "repellent and offensive" anti-Semitic image - had done the same thing, Mr Vaz asks?

Migration Watch releases its predictions of what will happen to migration to the UK if it stays in the European Union.

Would people and bodies currently receiving EU funding continue to be funded post-Brexit?

Sadiq Khan's election as Mayor of London opened up a vacancy as member of Parliament for Tooting, the seat he held at the general election in 2015 with a majority of 2,842 votes.

Fans of 1970s TV shows will know it as the location for Citizen Smith, the sitcom about a south London Marxist. This bit of the city has gone through a lot of changes since then.

In Tooting Market, many of the old-school shops are still there but they have been joined by a tiny gin distillery and a sourdough pizza joint is on the way. House prices are shooting up too - a £208,000 garage anyone? 

Meet the candidates but be warned: there are a LOT of Citizen Smith gags.

Voters go to the polls on Thursday, exactly a week before the UK's referendum on membership of the European Union.

Giving evidence to the Home Affairs Committee ahead of Ken Livingstone's appearance, the president of the Board of Deputies of British Jews, Jonathan Arkush, has said comments made by the former London mayor about Hitler and Zionism were "plainly anti-Semitic".

Mr Arkush told MPs that Mr Livingstone had been "deliberately offensive and purposefully provocative".

In some non-EU referendum news, Ken Livingstone has issued a statement condemning anti-Semitism, as he prepares to give evidence to a parliamentary inquiry looking into the extent of the problem.

The former London mayor was suspended from the Labour Party in April following a row over his claim that Adolf Hitler had initially supported the aims of Zionism.

The comment led to allegations of anti-Semitism, including an angry public confrontation with Labour MP John Mann, who branded Mr Livingstone a "Nazi apologist".

In a written statement to the Home Affairs Committee, Mr Livingstone said:

Responding to the growing calls from within Labour for reform of EU free movement rules, Labour MP John Mann, who is supporting the campaign to leave the EU, said David Cameron tried in his EU renegotiation and "failed".

He said senior Labour figures were "openly admitting defeat" on immigration in calling for changes to freedom of movement.

Campaigners for a Leave vote in the EU referendum say the funding Wales receives from Brussels will be maintained by the UK government in the event of Brexit.

Labour's Tom Watson went on to say freedom of movement was an issue that was "coming up on the doorstep", and said governments had to take heed of what voters were saying.

Labour's deputy leader Tom Watson has told BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg the EU will have to look again at freedom of movement.

"For the last decade I would say that immigration has been the backdrop to every election we've had in Britain and woe betide politicians that don't listen to what voters tell them," he said.

He said this was "a familiar story across Europe as well" in countries like Germany and Austria.

Mr Watson said "the immigration issue is complicated", but continued:

BBC chief political correspondent Vicki Young described those remarks as "a really significant intervention at this late stage in the campaign".  

Home Secretary Theresa May tells MPs about measures put in place by French police, following violence at Euro 2016 between English and Russian fans.

One of directors of Vote Leave has insisted today's pledge - that universities, scientists, and farmers who currently receive EU grants will still get the same money post- Brexit - is not a false promise.

Bernard Jenkin, a Conservative MP, said the pledge was valid because it was not being made by the Vote Leave campaign - but by government ministers who back Brexit.

He said government forecasts "show in the long term the economy is going to be strong", and added: "There is no need to cut science, universities or support for the countryside if we leave the EU, on the contrary there will be money to spare."

Mr Jenkin said after 2020 there would be a general election and the government elected then would make future spending decisions.
