The UK political class NEVER wanted Brexit. It came as a sickening shock when 17.4m people voted for the UK to leave the EU. And they have never forgiven us! How DARE we, the little people, disrupt their globalist plans. Back in 2016, the Labour an incredible 95% of Labour MPs voted for us to Remain. Labour is profoundly pro EU and so it was pretty obvious that when they won the General Election last July they would commence the unwinding go Brexit
Keir Starmer’s soon to be unveiled proposed youth mobility scheme will allow EU citizens aged 18-30 to live, work, and study in the UK for up to three years (with reciprocal rights for Britons in the EU), and has sparked accusations of betraying Brexit’s core principles. It undermines the 2016 referendum’s mandate, particularly on immigration control and sovereignty!
We can all see this for what it is – a backdoor to reinstating freedom of movement, a cornerstone of EU membership that Brexit sought to end. By allowing tens of thousands of young EU nationals to enter the UK annually—potentially capped at 70,000, per reports—the scheme risks replicating the open-border policies Brexit rejected. This move signals Labour’s willingness to cede border control, steering Britain back to being a rule-taker. The cap, while presented as a safeguard, is a scam, as similar schemes (e.g., with Australia, capped at 45,000) still contribute significantly to net migration, which the Home Office reported at 906,000 in 2023. This scheme will exacerbate pressures on jobs, housing, and public services, betraying Brexit’s promise of prioritising British workers.
The scheme also compromises UK sovereignty by aligning with EU demands. Brexit was about escaping Brussels’ influence, yet the youth mobility scheme is a key EU priority in Starmer’s post-Brexit “reset” talks, alongside issues like fishing rights and trade rules. European leaders, including Germany’s Olaf Scholz, have pushed for this deal, framing it as a quid pro quo for concessions like reduced trade barriers. Starmer’s concessions—potentially including alignment on food safety and carbon emissions under European Court of Justice oversight—erode the UK’s hard-won autonomy. This cynical capitulation to Brussels’ agenda is a betrayal of Brexit’s goal of national self-determination.
This betrayal will be sold to us as “boosting economic and cultural benefits”—touted as addressing labour shortages and fostering EU ties. Existing youth mobility deals with 12 non-EU countries already meet these needs without entangling the UK in EU frameworks. The added costs, like healthcare surcharges (£1,552 per person) and worrisome potential asylum claims, further undermine claims of ANY economic gain.
Starmer will only unveil this Scheme AFTER the May 1st Council elections so as not to frighten the Labour horses! He knows it revives freedom of movement, compromises sovereignty, risks political backlash, and offers questionable benefits. He doesn’t care.
We are going s-l-o-w-l-y back into the EU and that was always their plan.
