Brussels proposes return to pre-Brexit mobility for UK and EU young people
Quick Glance: EU Proposes Mobility Expansion for UK and EU Youth
  • The European Commission has proposed opening negotiations with the UK to allow mobility for millions of 18- to 30-year-olds before Brexit.

  • Under the planned agreement, EU and UK citizens aged between 18 and 30 could have the opportunity to stay in the destination country for an extended period.

  • The decision by the commission, which was previously strongly against concessions to the UK, is seen as a breakthrough in UK-EU relations.

  • If approved, millions of young people could come to the UK to fill the gap left by Brexit in the hospitality sector and at universities.

EU proposes some free movement for UK young people
Quick Glance: UK rejects mobility agreement with Europe for young people
  • The government has ruled out any post-Brexit deal that would make it easier for young Britons to live, study, and work in the EU.

  • Labour also rejected the possibility of an EU-wide scheme and prefers to improve the UK's working relationship with the EU within their red lines.

  • A campaign group urged MPs to listen to British young people who deserve the opportunities presented by the plan.

  • The EU suggested that Britain had expressed interest in youth mobility deals with individual member states but favored an EU-wide approach to ensure equal treatment for all members.

  • Truss assumed office on September 6, 2022, succeeding Boris Johnson, but faced early challenges and personal struggles.

  • Despite implementing economic measures and facing political turbulence, Truss resigned after a mini-budget led to a pensions crisis.

  • She reflects on her failed tenure, attributing blame to structural issues and drawing parallels to the controversial football manager Brian Clough.
