Sunak rejects offer of mobility scheme for young people between EU and UK - My initial reaction to this was that it was a bad decision, but on reflection I'm not so sure. One problem with it is that it seeds division between generations, because why shouldn't an older person be allowed to work in Europe. Generational division was something that led to Brexit in the first place. Lets be careful not to aggrevate the situation. Creating links between young people across Europe is a noble cause, but perhaps it can be achieved in a different way. The idea of cherrypicking countries with individual deals is also something I hadn't considered. Not sure how I feel about that. www.theguardian.com #
