The Labour party will not put forward any "false promises" on immigration following Brexit, Jeremy Corbyn has said.

Corbyn pledged to instead tackle the "real issues" stemming from immigration.

The party will propose a migrant impact fund which will aim to provide increased government spending in areas with high levels of immigration.

It will be partly funded by introducing a levy on applications for British citizenship.

Corbyn told conference delegates in Liverpool: "A Labour government will not offer false promises on immigration as the Tories have done.

"We will not sow division by fanning the flames of fear. We will tackle the real issues of immigration instead whatever the eventual outcome of the Brexit negotiations and make the changes that are needed.

"We will act decisively to end the undercutting of workers' pay and conditions through the exploitation of migrant labour and agency working which would reduce the number of migrant workers in the process."

David Cameron promised to lower net immigration levels "to the tens of thousands" before entering Downing Street.

The target, however, has not been met with net immigration last year rising to the second highest level on record, 333,000.

Corbyn said it was not migrants who "drive down wages" but instead it is "exploitative employers and politicians who deregulate the labour market and rip up trade union rights".

Labour pledges:

The Labour leader also told party delegates he is preparing the party for a general election to be called next year.

Theresa May has said she will not call an early general election as she believes the country "stability" to deal with the challenges of leaving the European Union.

Corbyn said: "Whatever the Prime Minister says about snap elections, there is every chance that Theresa May, will cut and run, for an early election.

"So I put our party on notice today, Labour is preparing for a general election in 2017, we expect all our members to support our campaign and we will be ready for the challenge whenever it comes."

Corbyn said the past few months had been a "testing time" for the party with the murder of Jo Cox, the EU referendum result which led 172 of his MPs passing a vote of no confidence in his leadership.
