Starmer opens door to youth free movement deal with Spain
(www.telegraph.co.uk)
Isn't this the cherry picking that the EU didn't want to happen?
Much better to adopt a EU-wide scheme rather than to pick and chose among different countries. Sunak tries it and failed. Like most Tory policies since the decision to hold a referendum on EU membership.
Man is warming up to the EU
He did very publicly oppose Brexit. Good to see he’s trying reset the relationship now that it’s happened.
So did all the other goons before him including even the biggest moron of them all, the guy who organized the referendum.
Account-locked article so can't read it.
Does it explain how they expect to enforce British youth not going outside of Spain to other EU countries?
Starmer is open to the idea. Is Spain? Will Brussels allow Spain effectively to set their own immigration policy?
Technically it's allowed. The question is if Spain wants to burn political capital over it.
Reading the article it does not strike me as burning political capital necessarily. If the "hurr durr Brexit" crowd needs to be slow boiled into reintegrating into the EU, then this is also in the interest of the EU as a whole.
And so far the EU played it quite well, being the "more adult" party to the whole Brexit fiasco. Given the fast shift of global power and the potential ramifications of a second Trump presidency for the security architecture of the EU, reintegrating Britain is more important than ever before.
If the UK pick and chooses what benefits they get from EU it's not slow boiling. It's having their cake and eating it too.
I don't think anybody in Spain cares about this.

Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in !yurop@lemm.ee. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
(This list may get expanded when necessary.)
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @federalreverse@feddit.org, @poVoq@slrpnk.net, or @anzo@programming.dev.
