Just done some maths comparing how much my parents paid for their house in 1978 and what it’s worth now.
If my calculations are correct, by 2060 my house should be worth £14.m.
Really hoping I can hang on that long. 🤞

It doesn't matter whether it's called a youth experience or mobility scheme.
Point is, two thirds of Brits support it. It'll help struggling industries like hospitality get staff. Boost the economy.
And give young Brits back opportunities they lost in a referendum they probably couldn't vote in.

@andrewlewinmp.bsky.social welcomes the progress towards a UK-EU youth mobility scheme, as currently "we’ve got deals with Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Iceland, Uruguay, but don’t have one with our closest allies just across the channel in the EU.”

Starmer's Euro Vision - New UK-EU trade deal gets douze points for diplomacy, but less for growth
While this deal may ease tensions and smooth select trade flows, it’s no game-changer for the UK economy. Not yet.

NEW: UK economy grows by a healthy 0.7% in Q1. Hasn’t been much good news for Starmer and Reeves of late but this certainly is. That said, it’s before the NI hikes came in and construction remains flat. Nonetheless will be a small boon to both business and political confidence.

Rejoining the EU would enhance Britain’s sovereignty. We’d get our seat back at the table where key decisions are taken & have a say on the single market rules that so many UK companies have to follow anyway (as it’s the world’s largest market, where we sell most of our exports).
