Jeremy Corbyn REFUSES to say how high immigration should be after we quit the EU – as he claims he isn’t wealthy!
The under-fire Labour leader sparked speculation about where he puts his money
JEREMY CORBYN has finally admitted that freedom of movement WILL end after we leave the EU, but has refused to say what sensible levels of immigration would look like.
The under-fire Labour leader also has denied claims he is "wealthy", despite earning more than £137,000 every year.
Mr Corbyn said it was "unwise" to slap a number on the amount of people who should be allowed to come to Britain.
"There would be fair immigration," he told ITV in an interview which will be aired this evening.
The 67-year-old went on: "I am not going to put any figures on it. Theresa May has done that... for the third general election she has promised figures and none of which she has come anywhere near to achieving."
The Prime Minister has promised she will again commit to slash net migration to below 100,000 in the upcoming election.
David Cameron's target, which was set in 2010, has yet to be met.
The last set of figures showed 273,000 still came to the UK last year.
But Mr Corbyn did admit that "free movement ends when we leave the European Union".
"There will be managed migration and it will be fair," he added.

In the same interview the Labour leader came under fire for refusing to admit that he is well-off.
He sparked mystery over his salary when he claimed he isn't rich because of "where he puts it".
Mr Corbyn gets paid the £137,000 per year salary for being an MP and Leader of the Opposition.
He declined to say where the cash goes - or whether he gives it to charity.
He said: “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.
“No, I’m not wealthy because of where I put the money but I’m not going into that.”
The Labour chief revealed he had enjoyed a “wonderful” and “very liberal” upbringing in Shropshire - but revealed his discomfort at his life of privilege.
