Why is Labour getting bolder on Europe? It knows even leave voters can now see the benefits | Gaby Hinsliff

A youth visa deal with the EU , giving 18- to 30-year-olds a chance to work or study abroad in member states for at least a year , is now on the table.

It’s the least gen Z deserve: a chance for the kids whose horizons were so wretchedly shrunk by Covid to broaden them and have a few adventures.

Even in red wall’ seats, Labour waverers are now three times more likely to switch to the Liberal Democrats and twice as likely to move to the Greens .

A deal to let young Europeans travel, plus a bit of realism about a Trump trade deal, isn’t exactly the dramatic pivot back to Europe that some have longed to see.

But remain voters tend to be pragmatic by nature.
