Sir Keir Starmer has ruled out a youth mobility scheme with the EU, marking a significant setback for his post-Brexit relationship with the European Union. This move comes despite pressure from ministers and proposals from the European Commission, which has listed a youth mobility scheme as a key demand for renewed talks. The official spokesperson emphasized that while discussions will continue, the government's stance on freedom of movement remains unchanged.
Ministers are facing increasing pressure to adopt a youth mobility scheme similar to those in place with countries like Australia and New Zealand. This proposal aims to facilitate opportunities for young people to study, work, and travel across the EU for up to two years. However, the Prime Minister's office has confirmed that such options will not be considered, solidifying the commitment to not reinstate freedom of movement after Brexit.
