1. > However, they did note the government would be happy to do deals with individual member states. It is known that the UK is keen to strike an arrangement with France.

   > One source said the UK wanted to “cherrypick” which countries it wanted such programmes with.

2. The deal suggested by the EU was a complete waste of time and reads like it came from a country completely out of touch with the ongoings of the UK. It’s not realistic to try and push freedom of movement through a backdoor and it’s especially not realistic to try and get the UK to pay for EU students to study in the UK.

3. The EU wants the UK to: “The European Commission is proposing an EU-UK deal that would go further, lasting up to four years with no restrictions on time spent working, studying, training or volunteering.

   It also says EU applicants should not have to pay the annual UK charge towards the NHS, which ranges from £776 for students and under-18s to £1,035 for workers.

   And EU students should pay the same tuition fees as UK students, rather than the higher fees they have had to pay since Brexit, and have rights to reunite with family members, under the proposals”

   Quite laughable EU wants to dictate terms and think they can bully the UK to agree. Great UK doesn’t want part of this scheme

4. Yeah that was a pretty shite deal.

5. Tbh if you look at the polls in the UK, what this government does doesn’t really reflect how most British people feel…

6. Is the UK building a paper “Berlin wall” to keep it’s young citizens in the UK?

7. Does it make sense to prefer importing cheap labor from Africa and the Middle East over investing in educated individuals who are likely to sustain themselves after completing their education in the UK? Brexiters love it.

8. An Indian preferring migrants coming from India than from Europe. What a surprise.

9. A boomerang for Labour to catch?

10. Of course he has. His entire government has been defined by shafting anyone under the age of 40, why stop now?

11. And the guy has roots in Asia. Shame.

12. Stupid timing from the EU on this one…

    Try again once the Cons are in the doldrums.

13. Is it the same United Kingdom of thieves who stole billions from other countries and still doing it? Means they didn’t put stolen wealth to good use? Karma? This country of snobby idiots will take few more centuries to realise their true value=garbage 

14. No EU movement for the young and up and coming generation but we will have as many from India that want to invade. Fuck you Sunak.

15. Yeah because they know all the young people would flee from the country given how shit it is

16. Rishi, what does your party intend to do when all the current over 50s have karked it?

17. Lol ofc he does not care about the young generation. He is out of touch and looks at his pocket only. He is an unelected bureaucrat (the irony!).

18. Ffs I really don’t understand the mentality of people that want to ruin things for others?

19. The government here works simply

    If it benefits anyone over the age of 40 AND one of his scummy buddies, they approve it.

    If it helps the youth, the next generation, shoot it down as hard as you can
