> A cap allowing 50,000 EU citizens a year to come to the UK on a proposed new under-30s visa could be accepted by Brussels as part of deal to achieve a softer Brexit, The i Paper can reveal.
> The youth mobility scheme has been a key sticking point in Sir Keir Starmer’s plan to negotiate a better deal with the European Union as part of his drive to grow the British economy.
> And the EU’s willingness to accept an annual limit of 50,000, having initially proposed an uncapped scheme, could offer a way through if the UK can agree to that level at a time when when immigration is such a contentious issue.
That is a start, but there seems to be some strings attached:
> But the EU source warned that Thomas-Symonds’s goal of concluding the flagship food and drink deal the two sides are negotiating by 2027 would depend on “progress” being made on other aspects of the reset, suggesting the UK may have to make concessions on youth mobility if it wants a speedy deal elsewhere.
And a reminder that the EU are not that desperate to get us back:
> Elsewhere, in a paper shared with The i Paper and due to be released next week, the UK In A Changing Europe (UKICE) think tank warns that Britain may face a fresh obstacle in its battle to secure access to the EU rearmament fund, due to the EU’s “restrictive” intellectual property rules.
Still, start small and expand from there bit by bit and maybe we end up closer to positive relationship even without rejoining.
Just out of interest: are there estimates on how many EU citizens would be interested in coming to the UK and which countries they’re from?
Despite a general love for the UK, I hear very few Western Europeans say they’d move there, simply because it would mean a downgrade in lifestyle, so I’m curious.
Why cap it? Young Europeans are net contributors to the economy. And this is a two-way street, we can also go to Europe. I was in Greece over the summer and it’s insane how many British people of all ages have now moved there permanently.
Waste of time, just apply to rejoin and end this madness.
We got no jobs, our economy is shit (and getting shittier 🤭) prices are high, and housing is a mess.
I bet those Europeans are watering at the mouth to come here especially as their countries, whether good or bad, are relatively stable compared to here.
Its a reasonable figure and would plug some shortage sectors.
It’s mainly pushed by Spain trying to offload its high youth unemployment rate on us. As we know from the stats pre brexit, we still had a huge net influx
