I am 75 and I fully agree with more European links. Just common sense.
I’m of the same generation and totally agree with you 👏👏
I am 84 Peter and this is the most sensible proposition we have had for more than a decade. We have a plan that will work Mr Speaker. lol
It's a rebirth of what we once had and it's brilliant. People can learn, can work, can contribute. May this expand more. Thanks to a new government.
i'm a 55 yr old from Scotland and had wanted to move to Spain eventually, I now suffer from a neurological disorder don't get out much, would loved to have moved to Spain right now as the weather and whole way of life would have helped me, that option was taken away from me with Brexit, I voted remain as the majority of Scotland did, my dream taken away from me
I guess a more gentle climate might be advantageous for you. I am very sorry for your Illness.
You and me both - Brexit has wrecked my old age. I'm now 74 and those plans I had to move to somewhere warmer in Europe, gone. I voted Remain as did most of the rest of London.😊
This is awesome. Couldn’t be happier.
I went to Spain and Germany through Erasmus and the thought of young people not being able to do it both saddens and enrages me.
Hopefully many more agreements like this will follow.
Finally a government led by common sense!!!!! Long may these initiatives thrive.
We have a lot of rebuilding to do with the EU and this is a very good first step it’s so nice to have grown ups in government.
A Prime Minister with common sense.
How much common sense is there with Spanish thought and way of life? It’s very different
A true rarity.
The EU offered this, but Frost turned it down. FM came too ;late for me, but I did work with young Europeans, all of whom were well-educated and great people. I admire anyone, who works in a foreign language as my German has never been that good. It is not just skilled workers, but the quality of those doing more menial jobs, like hospitality and contact centre work. they are young people, who do not really care about how much/little they are paid nor where they live - as they are not at home that much. After years in education, they enjoy a less demanding job. We have had such arrangements with Australia and NZ for decades - Aussie bar staff in London was a running joke and friends of mine did fruit-picking and even washing-up jobs in Oz. Good to see this anti-European nonsense being driven out.
Great news. I hope this is just the beginning.
This scheme is exactly the same as the commonwealth youth visa which has been around for decades - NZ/AUS/CAN etc
This is a new idea? Got to be kidding. In 1968 (well before the EU) I worked as a waiter in a holiday camp in Great Yarmouth. Half the waiters were Spanish, and apart from understanding a few words, none of them spoke English.
Like us abroad then.
What’s the point?
What is your point that they didn't speak English?.There are ex pats who've lived in Spain for years who can't speak a word of the language
@@annishilcock4587 It’s always irrelevant to bring up individuals who’ve left the UK, it doesn’t make sense
@annishilcock4587 Not sure myself why I mentioned that. They were all great guys and were only there for a relatively short period of time during the summer, so I wouldn't expect them to be particularly fluent.
My only criticism of them was that they seemed to attract all the girls.
As far as ex-pats actually residing in Spain and not speaking the language, I would agree that it's a disgrace.
I emigrated to Australia many years ago, and I've made every effort to understand Australians. I'm still working on it.
Good news. It was ridiculous to bring us out of Erasmus.
Good idea .DM comment section on this subject having a breakdown is very entertaining.The youth are well conected with each other these days thanks to social media and won´t be denied adventure and education.It´s always an advantage to have these experiences under your belt,IMHO.
I hope the idea gets shut down. Why? Because it's obvious what the Brits are trying to do: cherry picking to create unequal treaties, favouring some EU countries over others. As one Brexitist once said in an interview: he liked freedom of movement, but only for "proper Europeans", i.e. anything East of Germany, Austria and Italy is Afghanistan or something. Brexitists left the EU because we were in it, if the EU had stayed a Western only thing, they'd be fine with it, but they hated us, Eastern peasants. It was obvious in their whole rhetoric surrounding Brexit. Britain wanted to keep the Iron Curtain going with Brexit.
The more common peoples of the world integrate and exchange culture then the more likely they will be to question and refuse War!
Yes we can learn from the Spanish healthcare system. If not working, pay every month for 5 years till you get residency. If you are a foreign student, you need medical insurance for you and any family members you bring. Of course having a net migration rate of 0.84 prople per 1000 as opposed to 2. 4 people pèr 1000 helps too
That's fantastic, one step at a time
Best laid plans
I don't mind ad hoc arrangements with EU countries. This was why I wanted to leave, so we were not forced into things, but could do deals that benefitted us. By the way, we should try and establish better relations with China as I hear China has a huge trade surplus of dollars which it is looking to invest in physical assets. I heard the middle of Spain is due to get a large Chinese car plant, and China is investing a lot in Hungary. This is because Hungary has shown a supportive diplomatic stance towards China and so China feels its investments are safe. Starmer wants all this green energy, right. Well it is all about who has the capital. The US wants to play tough with Europe under Trump, so don't expect a good relationship there.
We all want our freedoms back.
We need to rejoin the EU and get back all those retired Spanish, French and Italians who bring £billions to our economy .
This is great news. The only age group that the majority voted to leave the EU over 65 and the group under 65 have to live with consequences for the larger portion of their lives.
Are you having a laugh, that age group can get into Spain and stay with very little in the way of problems, most can buy their way in through property, you need to have a look at the various entry requirements for various EU countries, its really not that difficult and those that don't have the means to do that wouldn't when we were in the EU, plus it was Brexiteers who suggested this was the way forward, controlled immigration between states but without the need to be in the EU
@@DropdudeJohn yes, if they’re wealthy
@@kevingrant7098
Yeah, but not that wealthy, just reasonably well off compared to the Spanish and that's a hell of a lot of people in that age bracket, and pre Brexit that situation was exactly the same.
@@DropdudeJohn
I know of someone who voted for brexit, yet planned to retire to Spain.
They can only stay 90 days, regardless of property.
I get very annoyed when us oldies are blamed for Brexit, when educational attainment was a far more significant influence - 69% of people with higher education status voted to Remain, and that's a bigger factor than just age. Yes, some older folk voted for Leave, but barely more than they did in any other age classification.
Staff exchanges between the Spanish and NHS staff would be interesting…Our nurses who can’t speak Spanish and their’s who can speak English…No chance for medical blunders there.
Sorry to blow up the idea but bilateral agreement will not work as long as Spain is part of the Schengen agreement. While granting work permits are a national thing the right to stay in the area is a Schengen wide issue. So any stay for more than 90 days in 180 days has to be agreed with all Schengen countries. I am 100% supporting the idea but it has to be for the complete Schengen area and the Brexit loonies will go nuts about it.
Maybe I'm paranoid, but I think they're hoping to get agreements with some EU countries and not with other... undesirable ones. 😀 As one Brexitist living in Spain once said in an interview: he's in favour of freedom of movement, but only for "proper Europeans." They're trying to cherry-pick.
@@octavianpopescu4776
I think it's more caution due to the red wall brexit vote.
See how Labour denied all rumours and put down questions over rejoining the single market or a customs union.
I think Labour is planning low key integration.
Just little bits here and there that won't attract too much attention from anyone who isn't following the avid pro EU movement, or indeed the GBeebies viewership, who won't matter to Labour since Farage Ltd. has that crowd hook line and sinker.
What a brilliant initiative
👍👍
Sounds good.
How is it a ‘Starmer proposal’ if it’s a ‘Sánchez idea’?
It would be a great start. The young, along with others, have had their freedoms removed.
I wondered if we would get some young builders, we have a lot of homes to build
A good move. Why should young people be denied of the experience of cultural exchanges, because of a decision not made in their name.
Cultural exchange? From what? A French slum or a Spanish ghost town?
"Not made in their name"? Young people showed great apathy, and very few voted in the referendum.
"This idea will require careful management and control".....let's stop just there 🤔
Lol
A small start of delegation
I guess exchange programs means limited numbers and other, for example age limitations, so basically the net migration would be relatively low.
About stabbings, if young folk joined boxing clubs or martial arts clubs they would be taught that violent anger is self-defeating, especially in martial arts they may be taught mushin and other aspects behind martial arts.
Great news .
The UK already has relations with countries like Albania…Albania has agreed to take back some of the thousands of illegal immigrants who crossed the Channel to avoid the EU and get into the UK. And despite Albanians making fewer than 0.05% of the UK population, 1.6% of inmates in UK prison's with convictions ranging from murder, manslaughter, rape, violent disorder, firearms offences, kidnap, death by dangerous driving, burglary and cannabis production are Albanians…They've already made themselves right at home here.
SHOCKING new footage shows police attacked ahead of Manchester airport 'excessive force' incident
@DropdudeJohn Yup, thrown to the floor and jump on, unable to use their arms to protect themselves because the had to desperately hang on their machine guns, incase the muslim thugs got hold of them...This prof has lost what credibility he might have had.
Good news at last. A long way to go, though, before🎉we come anywhere near what the great British electorate threw away.
Come on you lucky people, breathe that fresh labour air. Nice.thx tim
Well this must be better than shipping in people from Uzbekistan and gypsies from Bulgaria and Romania.
Don’t get fooled gained Tim 😱😱
PW, has the Conservative leadership contest begins. May you advise PP, Kemi, and the former home office guy, SB, that most of the UK voters don't like them want them to represent them. People out here in the shops, street, hairdressers, petrol shops, bin collectors, plumbers, painters & decorators. Look at Robinson march 27/07/24. That's most communities in England, sad but truth. They don't like the mayor of London.
Note: its not anything like FOM as the UK had as EU members - it will be like the existing youth exchange program between the UK and Aus and be for employment in sectors needing minimum wage unskilled workers like hospitality and NOT jobs like nurses, doctors, teachers, ski instructors etc who will still need formal work permits under a points based system.
Your residence privileges will only apply to the nation you have an exchange visa for and that means that if you travel to another EU nation things like your health insurance don't transfer out that nation and you must arrange holiday cover.
Then once you age out (typically when you turn 25) then you cannot stay on unless you can satisfy immigration requirements in a skilled or semi-skilled category or possibly marry a local.
Two sets of friends of mine sent their 21 and 23 yr old sons to Aus on such the youth scheme and tongue in cheek told them to find Australian wives and both did!
Not all such exchanges work at all, and most people find it easier to fulfil life’s goals at home
@@matthowardtv Yes that’s likely true but the point of this program is to try and save the UK hospitality industry (and possibly aspects of farming) by allowing young Spaniards to work for up to 3 years in the UK in jobs such as waiters, cleaners, barkeeps etc and at a low wage affordable by employers.
@@epincion And how will the ones coming be able to afford to live in the UK?
@@RealMash indeed it’s a huge flaw in the idea as they will have to (for example) purchase health cover for the first year you are in the UK - generally fir s fit young person that’s circa £700 pound alone
@@epincion It won’t help people in the UK who are ready for those jobs, we have other social issues at play here than “we just don’t want to”
He'll do anything to keep Gibraltar
It's a message from the proff cat 🙌
I think it's a wonderful idea!
Good move
Start with small step that can be monitored effectively though without much interference
Though good for delegation (not control )
Why should this only apply to young people? Seems like ageism yet again.
After watching the updated video of the incident by a gang of Muslim thugs on our armed Police going about their lawful business Hope you're going to put the record straight and support law and order in great Britain and respect our Police officers.
Now we have more CCTV context at Manchester airport, I think some apologies are in order
Don't hold your breath mate.
FOM for the under 21’s.
I am so pleased that labour are being so much more positive towards EU countries.
Remoaner ????
Yes closer ties with the EU if we want economic growth bravo !
@@michaelshore2300don’t be silly, that wasn’t a moan it was a celebration. It’s the brexiteers who haven’t stopped whinging and whining! 😂😂😂😂
It’s amazing, it completely aligns with their plan to rebuild British life
@@michaelshore2300 Steven!
The Brexit crowd will love it. Sorry, I meant loathe it!
So you don't worry multiple1000s of UK nurses will leave to live in a better climate??
Funny how the people who insist that everyone living in better climates is climbing the walls to work in The UK and "take away jobs", but as soon as the ability to move out of The UK to work elsewhere is mentioned then the fear is that everybody will stampede out of the country. Which is it? Is living and working in The UK the gold cup or the chamber pot?
Are you aware that your last few videos have 4 or 5 light streaks on them? Just around your left ear.

Be nice to see reform in EU policy, sadly the EU policy on sealing folks asset doesn't promote them well. UK needs to train " it's" young folks. Since the 80s UK politics has turn away from in-house training to importing it ready assembled from other countries, mind you it has saved the political types a penny or two.
Building a country requires education, that leads to doctors, nurses police, engineers, electrical. mechanical and electronics civil, to name a few. Then a country will have foundation to build and prosper. But relying on the EU to provide the said former; is it wise in a changing world political climate?
Starmer said migration was too high. Now he wants more.
Labour flip flopping already
Do not conflate the Unelected, unaccountable, fedralist EU... With the sovereign rights of European states where politicians are accountable to their voters...
Hmm, this looks a bit odd. Why the bilateral approach? Does this mean Spain will stop harassing Gibraltar?
Why is Gibraltar important in comparison?
Bilateral agreements are only allowed if they do not conflict with European law, so this has no chance of success. European law says 90 days and Spain has to adhere to this unless they introduce a strict visa, which must then be approved by all EU countries. The chance of success is therefore nil. It looks a bit like the desperate stunt that the Tories performed by persuading European countries to get things done on a country-by-country basis, unfortunately that's not how the European Union works. a few weeks in and Styarmer is already afraid that he won't be able to cross off his bucket list. and while we are only half way through Brexit, halfway through 2025, he is shitting his pants
So, will the Spanish unemployed take more jobs from UK workers then?
And UK unemployed taking Spanish jobs.
@@TimoDyer indeed, especially as Spanish youth employment is much higher.
@@qetoun better Spanish workers than a million South Asian family dependent visas.
Proves we don't have to rejoin the EU. 👍
The brexiters should be happy: Sovereign UK Sovereignly enters into a mutually beneficial pact with the option to Sovereignly opt out should we Sovereignly choose.
It doesn’t make sense to be under the control of others for no reason than to control them, as sovereignty implies a sense of self-control and a way to do it
What makes you think this is in the national interest.
I didn’t vote for Brexit and lost my free movement within Europe …….
You did. And it was in the national interest to protect UK workers from being undercut by foreigners.
@@qetoun
Absolutely, the youth of the UK gain more from Brexit through job security and not being undercut by a foreign work force coming here then they gain with the limited opportunities that very few will actually use in continental Europe
@@DropdudeJohn It's that simple. But the guided middle-class navel-gazers on here can only think about getting drunk in EU resorts and the threat Brexit poses to their debauchery.

When I worked n Spain all they wanted to do was speak English so they could be fluent and come here, shame really, Spain is such a nice country and nice people and its completely screwed by being in the EU and being in the Euro
Pound Sterling funneling in the direction of Spain yep, reciprocal funneling? absolutely Nope.
Jim o were you ok with JRMogg pound Serling going to Ireland ?
@@nickryder9669 of course not.
