I have no idea how they'd actually do this, but it's interesting to hear these noises and the frantic wriggling as it all starts to unravel.

David Cameron is considering demanding that Britain be given an "emergency brake" on the number of European jobseekers after promising MPs a "game-changing" new immigration policy.
The prime minister has so far said only that he wants to curb benefit tourism and extend blocks on migrants from newly joined EU countries. Under increasing pressure from Ukip's poll surge, however, Downing Street is now drawing up more radical options.
