True enough to say that Corbyn's defeat was about "Brexit" but then what exactly was Brexit about? The last political issue is immigration and its effect on the bargaining power of native labor. I don't fly to Surrey and scab because I can't, not because I don't want to.
Essentially yes. If workers can travel freely between locations then there's no geographic element to bargaining power, every worker gets the same wage. This is good, if you believe that white people are paid off with an illicit share of the wages of black and brown people

Leftists generally do believe this, and in more or less explicitly racial terms - otherwise China would come up way more often as an "imperialist" power.

Having a Pole or Croat who can accept Polish or Balkan wages for work in England drives down the price of that labor for locals - especially locals who have debt denominated in pounds that was borrowed on the expectation of getting a 'standard' wage (even more pointed in the US)
