"Although Keir Starmer would deny it, re-joining the Erasmus programme is a symbolic first step towards re-joining the EU. Leaving the programme was an act of educational vandalism which Boris Johnson allowed despite denying in 2020 that it would ever happen,"
"However, we live in a time of high political volatility. It's a delusion to believe there's any basis on which the UK can construct a solid future for itself other than in Europe. Labour must grasp the European nettle and follow up this long-overdue decision with action to address the rest of the damage done by Brexit - and that can only mean re-joining."
The UK government has decided to re-enter the Erasmus+ student exchange scheme. The Rejoin EU Party welcomes the move but warns that bureaucratic hurdles like visas persist because the UK remains outside the EU. Rejoining Erasmus is symbolically important but insufficient to repair the economic, logistical and cultural damage caused by Brexit. The party asserts that full re-entry to the EU is the only real solution. Brendan Donnelly describes leaving Erasmus as educational vandalism permitted by Boris Johnson despite earlier denials. Young people may benefit, but political action toward EU membership is urged.
