EU Pushes for Massive Youth Migration Deal with UK Under Starmer’s New Brexit Reset

[Social Media]

 

Brussels is calling on the United Kingdom to allow up to half a million young Europeans to live and work in Britain as part of a proposed "youth experience scheme" negotiated under Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s post-Brexit reset agenda. The EU’s demands significantly exceed the UK government’s intended cap and have sparked fears of a renewed political storm over migration.

 

Sir Keir Starmer has agreed in principle to a reciprocal youth mobility scheme with the EU, allowing adults aged up to 30 to work and study in Britain, while offering the same opportunity to young Britons across the continent. However, while UK ministers are aiming to limit the number of EU nationals entering the country through this route to below 100,000, Brussels appears to have other ideas.

 

An EU official speaking to The Times argued that the scheme should mirror the scale of the UK’s existing arrangement with Australia. But since the EU’s population is vastly larger — roughly 450 million compared to Australia’s 26 million — this would equate to potentially admitting around 500,000 young Europeans. “Are Australians better than Europeans? If the same model applies, then the numbers would have to be much higher or it would be hurtful,” the official said. “What is the British problem with our young people, our children?”

 

Such a scale would undoubtedly ignite fresh controversy over immigration at a time when the Prime Minister is under growing pressure to reduce net migration, which surged under the previous Conservative government. 

 

EU member states had demanded a youth mobility scheme in exchange for the Prime Minister's desire for closer post-Brexit defence and trade ties with the bloc. Following Monday's UK-EU summit in London, it was announced that both sides would 'co-operate further' on establishing such a scheme.

 

But Downing Street last night insisted the Government had set a series of 'red lines' for those continuing discussions.

Excellent news.

 

The UK’s return to the Erasmus program is the big prize here, great news for UK students, British universities, British athletes and British sports professionals.

 

The Tories taking the UK out of Erasmus was an act of wanton vandalism.

 

Get it done, you know it makes sense.

 

[JonnyF]

Starmer will agree to this.

 

He wants to damage the UK as much as possible and he is realizing he will only have one term in which to do it. This is an excellent opportunity for him, quick on the heels of giving away the Chagos islands and renting them back for millions per year. 😃

 

It seems his anti immigration stance ended at the same time as his "island of strangers" speech. What a surprise!

Did you not understand the words " Live and WORK "

 

And people up to the age of 35, are not youths. Certainly not in the UK, nor the EU, or anywhere else on Planet Earth.

who gives a *it about what Brussel's think.

Starmer is guiding us back to pre Brexit status with his overtures to European lawmakers. 

History will not be klnd to his betrayal of the British people.

Reversing the barriers to young Brits being able to study and work abroad is a positive move retiring opportunities stripped away by the vandalism that was Brexit.

How odd, young Brits could work and study in what became the EU before the EU was a thing.

 

But the issue is capitulating to the EU after saying

It's the same old irrational nonsense: 'Starmer wants to damage the UK'. In the unlikely event that 500k young EU nationals wanted to live in the UK at any one time, how are they going to damage the country? They will not bring dependents and will presumably be in good health, so won't be drain on the nations' infrastructure and resources. The scheme is simply an opportunity for young people - Brits and EU nationals alike - to broaden their horizons.

 

The reaction on this thread simply reinforces the view that for some people, any deal with the EU - no matter its' objective or scope - is a bad deal. The fact that these individuals cannot provide any constructive alternatives doesn't seem to concern them.

Why doesn't the UK just admit it made about the worst decision ever when the left the EU, and re-join it again.  People I know living in GB have said their lives have gone downhill since this sh*t occurred.  People who voted to leave are now saying they erred and want to make a return.  That's of course, if the EU would let them return.  Maybe, they won't, but if they do, the Pommes should just go for it.

Now that's enough of that defeatist talk. Pull yourself together, man. It's people like you who are causing the problem.

 

You may not be British but you need to act in the UK's national interest like the rest of us. So starting today make sure that you cross your fingers and pray that Brexit turns out ok. If you are one of those atheist chappies, then it is acceptable to close your eyes really, really tightly and wish really, really hard for the success of Brexit.

[GanDoonToonPet]

This is going to turn out like the same debacle when labour were last in power at the turn of the century.

 

If workers from similar economies in Western Europe are allowed to work in the UK under this scheme, then that is a reciprical arrangement.

 

If workers from Eastern European countries, where the minimum wage in some countries is less than a third of the UK, are allowed to work in the UK under this scheme, then it is not.

Yep.

 

That is where it went wrong for EEC to EU....... the "similar economies" bit got lost.

Yes, I'll happily close my eyes and wish really, really hard for the FAILURE of Brexit. I feel sorry for the stupid people who even thought Brexit up, I bet most of them are wishing they hadn't.

[rattlesnake]

That's a lot of words to say they want more cheap labour from Eastern Europe.

 

The Brits voted for Brexit because they wanted less immigration and more social protection, they got more of the former and less of the latter. The globalist hyperstructure does not like cheeky slaves and will punish those who rebel.

Starmer trying to walk this back on numbers........lol

 

Labour want EU youth mobility scheme to be capped at 100,000

One government source said that the UK was hoping to cap the number of EU citizens arriving under the youth mobility scheme at between 70,000 and 80,000.
Others pointed to Labour’s commitment to reduce migration, saying that it would not be compatible with a cap of more than about 100,000.
Some in Brussels, however, have said that the number should be set on a pro rata basis with Britain’s existing schemes. Given the EU’s population of 450 million, this could mean a limit of half a million or more.

Not a day goes by that he is not caught out lying.

 

He has now been reported for lying over the cost of the Chagos surrender deal.

 

All that expensive education, and he thinks £100 million X 99 years = £4.3 Billion.

Just remember, this Youth mobility Scheme, despite the outright lies of the resident fanboy.

 

Is over and above any numbers that would come under the Erasmus Scheme.

I did in my comment.

 

Erasmus Scheme and Youth Mobility Scheme = 2 different Schemes.

 

Only people with an Agenda will try and conflate both Schemes.

Typical EU; start dealing with them and they take the piss. This should only be pro-rata on numbers. There is no space for that kind of influx.
