It's not going away, Brexit that is, and now even the European Union have begin to spot some of the numerous flaws in the divorce agreement - the main one being the lack of freedom of movement. The increased cost of travel, complicated visa requirements, painfully long passport queues, recruitment complications and general chaos for inbound, outbound and even domestic transport are just some of the problems that the travel and hospitality industries have had to deal with since the UK left the EU in 2020. And now it appears that the EU would like to try and resolve some, if not all of these issues.

Obviously a lot of inward-looking Tory-leaners negativing our comments here. It’s depressing that such person/s can’t articulate a reasonable counter point, yet hit the downthumb. Oh well.
The EU offered the UK to rejoin the Student Erasmus scheme as a partner country, but the UK refused, going its own way with its Turing scheme. Having read its summary review it’s a weak alternative with only an average placement of 100 days, (so in a way no better than the 90 day rule limit anyway). My Daughter did an Erasmus year just before Brexit, spending her study time in Vigo and Berlin. A fantastic experience which Brexit firmly quashed for all young British people. I doubt the Europeans will continue any more offers until the UK has a change of Government.
Piss and moan that you're not being treated with exception, but when the EU finally offers some exceptions, reject it because we don't take orders from foreigners.
That's the inward/backward looking British conservative party for you. The sooner they are gone the better for everyone.
