The EU Commission says UK and EU citizens under 30 should be able to work or study for up to four years.

Labour has said it has “no plans for a youth mobility scheme” if it wins the general election later this year.

I wish Labour would have a backbone and stand up to the hard left of their voter base and out right reject this Brexit narrative. Sigh… Not in my lifetime sadly. The two main parties are Brexit parties - one overtly, one covertly.

    the hard left have been purged by Starmer, they are soft on Europe for electoral reasons.

    The hard left have been removed by Starmer, you’re right. But you can’t avoid the fact that the electoral calculus for the Labour party is to appease the massive hard left northern voter base and stay quiet on anything that realigns the UK with the EU.

    They might want to win Southern Tory Brexit votes, but that doesn’t mean they want to loose Northern Labour Brexit votes. Starmer doesn’t want a repeat of 2019 and he’s happy to sacrifice closer EU ties as a cost of that potential win. The question is… Are you?
