The botched Brexit deal robbed young people of so many opportunities. It's time to fix that and reset our relationship with Europe. James MacCleary MP introduces his Youth Mobility Scheme bill today⬇️

This has been desperately awaited by so many. I hope it brings immediate relief to them after so much suffering. But this is the moment to push ahead, not rest on this achievement. We need sustained effort to create the conditions for this to be the start of an enduring peace.
