A Youth Mobility Scheme will be part of Monday's EU-UK "reset", and it should be part of the reset.

An EU-UK Youth Mobility Scheme is supported by the overwhelming majority of UK voters.

It's not as good as Freedom of Movement, but starts to restore opportunities.

Here's another Nobel Prize winner, David Card, explaining that foreign workers do not reduce wages for British workers. This is especially true of Freedom of Movement within the Single Market.

Until last week, anyone who had an Italian ancestor who was alive after the country was formed in 1861 could seek citizenship. But it has now tightened its rules after a flood of applications from people who only coveted an Italian passport that allowed them to enter more countries without a visa.

The government says it tightened citizenship rules because of a deluge of applications from the descendants of emigrants who only coveted an Italian passport.

This is interesting ! I've been to John O'Groats a few times but I had missed this story about John de Groot, the Dutchman ! Apparently the local distillery is selling a whisky called Seven Sons in memory of this story ! www.visitjohnogroats.com/information/...

This is so true - but you only need to listen in to half of the video as it seems to be repeated in the second half.
And to add to all this -we never voted on the Single Market -only on leaving the EU -the process was never defined so we were voting on an unknown. Only 37% voted for a type of Leave.

Freedom of Movement was robbed from us by a successful Russian influence operation and the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history.

Please repost if you want it restored.

Latest news on the magnificent Viking age Galloway Hoard from the National Museum of Scotland.
I'm planning to visit it! It was found in 2014 on lands owned by the Church of Scotland by metal detectorists in Kirkcudbrightshire. It's thought the hoard was buried in 900AD www.nms.ac.uk/discover-cat...

With any hoard, some of the most common questions are about who buried it, and why. Usually, Viking-age hoards of silver are a mix of anonymous ornaments,

British aviation is a casualty of Brexit:
✈️ UK pilot’s qualifications are no longer recognised in the EU, so pilots must be re-examined there at extra cost.
✈️ The UK no longer has a maintainance agreement with the EU, so planes must now fly to America or Brazil for it, adding costs of up to £500,000
Brexit has left the UK aviation sector up in the air
Since Brexit, UK pilot's qualifications are no longer recognised in the EU and planes have to fly to America or Brazil for maintenance. If the government is serious about resetting Britain's relations...

The problem with this is that it offers something we already have. Tariff-free trade is already part of the Brexit deal, so the benefits are minimal. Starmer is still RULING OUT any return to the customs union or the Single market with freedom of Movement. So don't let them gaslight you!
