Friend of mine (EU citizen) has son studying (for free) in an university in Prague
The son just won a 2 months internship over the summer in Athens and gets a top up of €2,000 from Erasmus as part of the EU youth mobility initiative.
Incredible how many opportunities the British youth are missing.

Except, it's not "done with the EU", as he says it is. It simply isn't!!
Labour should be much stronger on pinning stupid Brexit on grifter Farage and the fuckwitted Tories who fell for it.

Rejoining the EU would be a good solution.
Would take years of course, but every step along the way (e.g. joining the Customs Union) would provide very real benefits for the economy in the meantime.
Until now Lab have been lying about Brexit being a root cause of our economic problems.

About 2,400 others who already pay some council tax will lose part of their rebate.
Women and the disabled will be disproportionately affected.
