The Labour Party in the UK has recommitted to bringing down net migration figures from “record high levels”, after its mayor of London called for a youth mobility scheme with European partners.
London mayor, Sadiq Khan, in an interview with The Observer, said that young people should be able to move freely to and from the EU – an opportunity that ended when the UK left the bloc.
“The government’s hard Brexit has done damage right across London and it is young people who have been hardest hit in so many ways,” Khan told the paper.
“Not only is it more difficult for young people to move abroad for work, but the government’s wrong-headed decision to leave the Erasmus scheme has made it much harder for students to study abroad too.
