August 28, 2025

Keir Starmer's lead negotiator on Europe has enthused about how excited he is by the prospect of an EU youth mobility scheme, as he signaled a broader government shift towards embracing closer ties with the bloc.

Nick Thomas-Symonds, the Cabinet Office minister in charge of negotiating Britain's relationship with the EU, said yesterday he was looking forward to signing a deal to let young people travel and work more freely across Europe.

His tone contrasted with that struck just a few months ago, when the government would not say whether it was willing to enter negotiations over such a scheme.

He made the comments during a speech in which he promised to agree a new agricultural export deal by the start of 2027, as ministers begin to talk more openly about their desire to move closer to Brussels.
