Starmer Cannot He Handed A Free Lunch …
... warns the EU. If he wants a so-called relations re-set with them, concessions on migration, fishing and youth mobility are understood to have been demanded as trade-offs.
It's widely reported but I can't post a link - perhaps someone else will oblige.
Is our less-than esteemed and rapidly failing leader about to lead us into even stormier waters? I think so.

At Bridlington the harbour is relatively busy still, but it is mainly shellfish and crustaceans - which all go to the EU (usually France). In Filey - there are still just a few crabbers where there was a fishing industry and jobs for local kids. No sign of any improvement. The local fishmonger has now closed. We are on the edge of the N. Sea and no local fish available!!!!
For fresh fish your best bet is Morrison's at Scarborough (salmon driven down from Scotland etc..)
It is truly shameful for a maritime nation and an island country to allow this state of affairs to have developed and to continue in a supposedly free country.
Pixie Balls-Cooper is 'running' the Home Office. Any immigration falls on here so hardly surprising she is against it.
As for Next PM, pretty much anyone (apart from the GOAS and Thieves) would be better.
Sir UT2TK will undoubtedly give in, he wants his snout in the very profitable EU trough, just like Kinnockio and his familly did.
I must admit I struggle with the Youth mobility scheme. One of my Nephews (under 30) moved to work in Madrid recently. There really is no problem if you are a useful addition to their society. And lets faceit the EU will just use it to chuck loads of their new male arrivals all of fihtoing age over here.
Yes I’m quite sure the EU would like a “youth mobility scheme”.
Their overall youth unemployment rate is almost 15%. Cyprus, Latvia, Croatia, Belgium, Greece and France all have rates between 15% and 20%. Luxemburg, Lithuania and Slovakia are all over 20%. Sweden and Estonia are on 22%, Romania 23% and Spain 25%.
The UK has enough problems of its own with 13% of 18-25 year olds being unemployed (although the true figure of people of that age not working is far higher than that - many of them are not classed as "unemployed").
The EU does is not seeking such a scheme for the benefit of the few UK youngsters who might want to head there (and as youngmaf says, those who really want to go there and are a useful addition to the society they join, are able to do so).
In 2022 (the latest figures I can find) over 5.1m migrants from outside the EU were granted citizenship of an EU country. Many of those would have been young people. Any scheme concocted by the EU (and welcomed by our Prime Minister in return for a couple of free tickets to the Champions League Final in Munich next May) will include provision for many of them to be among those seeking entry to the UK.
Make no mistake. This will not be a scheme where young people come here for a couple of years’ “cultural enlightenment” and then return to the EU. Once here they will stay here and it will simply be a miniature version of the EU’s ridiculous “freedom of movement” lunacy which this country only recently was rid of.
