Falsehood from Lord Frost. Waiving a visa requirement for short stays involving paid activities falls far short of free movement of people.

Lord Frost has been the chief Brexit negotiator for some time. It's hard to believe such a basic error is accidental. Whether it's gross incompetence or a deliberate lie, either should disqualify him from his post.
The problem with Brexity untruths isn't merely historical. They are now being deployed by these fanatics to damage any prospect of a closer relationship with the EU *as a non-EU country* - even if it damages a British industry, as it does here.
Which is another reason why it's important for those on the opposite side of the argument not to distort the meaning of "free movement" either (ie it doesn't apply to 3000 Indian graduates for a two year period). It plays into the hands of those like Frost doing the same thing.
None of this may change a damn thing. But it's important to keep pointing out truth for its own sake.
