Benefits

Not only could we respond to voters’ concerns about migration without damaging economy. Quitting EU would also involve some loss of control.

Former PM makes good points, but risks raising expectations unrealistically and giving populists too much credit.

Theresa May has made migration central to her Brexit vision, but so far only allowed speculation. Something solid must emerge before June 8.

Legally binding the deal may be - but there will still be hurdles ahead.

The PM told MPs last week 40% of EU migrants claim in-work benefits. That figure counts out-of-work benefits too.

The pro-EU case doesn’t rest on the concessions provisionally agreed. These are useful, not revolutionary.
