It will be folk who are kids now who will write about the impact of Brexit after we are gone and an academic consensus will form. Our generation can only best guess. I think that is a measured response.

'Confined to this little island: Britons criticise rejection of EU mobility deal' Immediately painted as freedom of movement (it is not), but a worthwhile mutually beneficial scheme, no wonder Sunak and Starmer have rejected the idea.

Of course it is free movement of people - the Guardian article that you quote from is full of the phrase.

I would be happy with this scheme and I am a Brexiteer.

Hmmm Many EU countries have a problem with youth unemployment meanwhile in this country big business would rather import cheap labour than locals. I can see why both the EU and business would think this is a good idea but no the government is correct. Currently we have been striking bilateral deals with certain wealthier EU countries which the EU wants to stop. I would not expect a huge number of young Germans flocking to this country to do minimum wage job but Spain and Greece with very high unemployment would love to, hence the EU deal. The positive I take from this is that it is the first time the EU has come to us with a deal it is normally the other way around.

Basically, the post-Brexit youth mobility deal allows Britons aged between 18 and 30 to live, study or work in the EU for up to four years. It's easy to see why people are fed up with politicians' petty bile and spite. They offer nothing but decline.

Some local Herbert whose idea of a hard day's work is arising at noon and gaming all day versus a person willing and able to cross a Continent and sea to work. Wouldn't you? It is not just about labour price per unit.

It is not just about labour price per unit. No argument from me about the feckless however we have to get these people back into work. I don't doubt that EU citizens willing to do entry level jobs would work hard but we cannot import workers whilst paying our own to sit on their arse.

It is nothing more than dangling a bit of bait. We will be back in within 5 years. This is merely part of that wider scam. This actual proposal was pure spin but it achieved what it has set out to do which is put the idea of freedom of movement back on the agenda again, and aimed at the voters they will need to get out. Agreed, as Ernie Bevin said: “If you open that Pandora’s Box, you never know what Trojan horses will jump out.”

The EU can go roger themselves roughly with a nobbily stick without lube. Bunch of failed upwards vastly overpaid gravy train politicians who are about as much use as ready meal in a crypt and half as wise.
