Post-Brexit youth mobility scheme with EU on the table under a different name (www.independent.co.uk)

A list of recommendations produced by the EU-UK Parliamentary Partnership Assembly โ€“ a delegation of members from the UK and EU parliaments aimed at strengthening relations with the bloc โ€“ has urged the government to establish a โ€œyouth opportunity schemeโ€.

It is understood the scheme would operate similarly to proposals for a โ€œyouth mobility schemeโ€, which had become a major sticking point between the UK and EU.

It would allow 18- to 35-year-olds, including those doing apprenticeships, to move and work freely between countries for up to two years.

Britain already has a similar agreement with Australia and 12 other countries, including New Zealand, South Korea, Iceland, Uruguay, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

There is widespread support among the British public for such an agreement with the EU, with a YouGov survey of almost 15,000 people indicating that two-thirds (66 per cent) of people backed the scheme, compared to just one in five (18 per cent) who are opposed.

In Nigel Farageโ€™s Clacton-on-Sea constituency, which voted overwhelmingly in favour of leaving the EU in 2016, more than twice as many people were in favour (57 per cent) than against (25 per cent) the idea of a mobility scheme.
[โ€ฆ]
There is now hope among MPs on the parliamentary delegation that the change in language will help to get the agreement over the line, as it is understood that a key stumbling bloc for ministers was the term โ€œmobilityโ€ โ€“ amid fears critics would use it as evidence Labour is restoring freedom of movement.

Britain:

We are also part of Europe and should be part of European defence - and we mean please buy our weapons

Also Britain:

We are not part of Europe, and also kind of xenophobic, so please keep the Poles and Romanian away from us
