:01:52. > :01:53.There's confusion tonight over Labour's position

:01:54. > :01:56.In a speech this afternoon, the UK leader Jeremy Corbyn said

:01:57. > :01:59.Labour is not wedded to the principle of free movement

:02:05. > :02:08.Our political correspondent Andrew Kerr has been

:02:09. > :02:14.It's the first day back after the break at Holyrood.

:02:15. > :02:17.The coffee counter is doing a roaring trade as people look

:02:18. > :02:25.Jeremy Corbyn is looking for a boost too in 2017.

:02:26. > :02:26.He attempted a Labour leadership relaunch

:02:27. > :02:44.of movement, a hardening his stance on immigration, hoping to appeal

:02:58. > :03:00.We are not wedded to free movement of the EU as a point of principle

:03:14. > :03:18.Jeremy Corbyn may have been hoping to make clear his stance

:03:24. > :03:32.Scottish Labour were launching their own local government

:03:33. > :03:37.They set out their position on freedom of movement.

:03:38. > :03:39.We believe the free movement of labour in Scotland

:03:40. > :03:41.is good for Scotland, but we understand people's concerns

:03:42. > :03:44.when they cannot get a house and when they cannot get

:03:45. > :03:46.appointments at their local hospital or their local GP.

:03:47. > :03:49.But the answer to that is not to blame free movement of people,

:03:50. > :03:58.Opponents seized on the possible contradiction.

:04:13. > :04:16.Back at the coffee shop, maybe Mr Corbyn is trying

:07:50. > :08:01.I understand the problem with stigmatising certain families
