EU proposes some free movement for UK young people
EU proposes some free movement for UK young people
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.

What? Its not the hard left (who have been purged out of the party almost entirely) its the thought of pissing off elderly, socially conservative voters that makes Labour incredibly timid on Europe.
Labour red wall voters in the 2019 GE would disagree with you.
Ignore them, they are just gaslighting. It's an attempt to rewrite history.
The far left were just as much against the EU with the argument that it removes power from individuals and consolidates it with bigger government, and that due to freedom of movement, you break local labour market power to enforce better pay. Just because you have some alignment, because they smash some big corporations, doesn't mean that their values will always be aligned and and that point you have lost control.
I called them morons back then too.
Yes, those would be the elderly socially conservative voters i was talking about.
It'll be just my luck if I age out of the free movement system just as it gets re-introduced...
It would be a step in the right direction but the Tories would salivate at the idea of turning this election into a Brexit election. I suspect we’ve not heard the last of this and we’ll start re-aligning various policies with Europe on a case-by-case basis once the Tories are wandering the political wilderness, it’s the obvious thing for an incoming government to boost their economic credibility.
that's because labour is just the tories with a different colour scheme
