Plans for Britain to sign up to free movement scheme for young people in Europe seen as start of Brexit betrayal
Last night, plans for Britain to join a European youth free mobility program were viewed as the beginning of a betrayal by Brexit.
It was reported that Whitehall authorities were trying to permit participation by university students and those enrolled in vocational courses.
It is perceived as a diluted form of an EU proposal that would allow 18 to 30 year olds from the UK and the bloc to spend up to four years in their target country.
Opponents, meanwhile, worry that it is an indication that Brexit is being unpicked.
“The last thing this country needs is more migration and free movement,” stated Matt Vickers, the shadow home office minister. However, Britain loses every time Labour engages in negotiations.
Keeping the large number of students arriving from the EU under control has drawn criticism.

The prime minister has stated time and time again that no plans are in the works to implement a youth mobility program after Brexit.
However, civil workers are searching for a compromise with potential educational options.
Last night, No. 10 stated: Our stance on youth mobility is unambiguous and unaltered.
Early talks are thought to be a component of a reset with Europe that would also enable stronger ties on defense and trade issues.
Last night, Downing Street stated that the government’s top growth priority will benefit from stronger ties with the EU.
More cooperation with the EU is in the UK’s national interest, a spokesperson continued.
Additionally, former Prime Minister Boris Johnson stated yesterday night that it was time to take advantage of Brexit’s chances on the fifth anniversary of the bloc’s leave.
“Now is the time to take advantage of our freedoms and double down on Brexit,” he continued.
