She speaks, she lies.

vicibox.bsky.social•34 days ago

Why not all of us? We had that taken away from us without a mandate (that was pointed out by the Law Lords) by a Conservative Government. I voted along with the 65% of us in the 70s to gain those rights!!!

suffolkcanary.bsky.social•34 days ago

About [insert own expletive] time

Reeves on re-entry to EU: “That boat has sailed.”

robert111.bsky.social•34 days ago

Unfortunately I don't trust her or her government, they have sold us out to the corporations

marchogdu.bsky.social•34 days ago

Then reverse Brexit dipshit!

idlehound69.bsky.social•34 days ago

Errr what about us less young….?

yamaking666.bsky.social•34 days ago

no. it signals British exceptionalism.

26men.bsky.social•34 days ago

They can just move there, as there is no future in the broken beyond repair UK.

peterdavieson.bsky.social•34 days ago

So .. unemployed say "there are no jobs" .. businesses say 'loadsa jobs, but people won't do them' .. government says "we'll force the ill to work by removing social security" .. Reeves adds "I want our young people to work in Europe"

(Ps. the UK is 'in Europe').

loupgarou.bsky.social•34 days ago

And are obviously not enough from a Govt that seems to break its word over and over

voxterrier.bsky.social•34 days ago

I should b***** well hope so, or they're toast.

wayouts123.bsky.social•34 days ago

You can always apply to join the EU

hlhcc.bsky.social•34 days ago

And i would like to be a EU citizen again…so if you’d be so kind Rachel and push this through parliament I’d be ever so grateful ☺️

msapz.bsky.social•34 days ago

What about the rest of us?

mrsgayguevara.bsky.social•34 days ago

Playing both sides. @teamlabouruk.bsky.social have a ridiculous approach to UK-EU relations. #RejointheEU 🇪🇺

trispw.bsky.social•34 days ago

What about older people? We used to be able to do that.

shortbreadfairy.bsky.social•34 days ago

Aye. Sod one in one out. I want oor FOM back. Scotland didn't vote for this and gets as shite a deal as England wanted and negotiated when NI and Gibraltar get a deal.

trispw.bsky.social•34 days ago

Yes. It was so unfair to Scotland, like just about everything else in this god forsaken dump of a falling down country, BritBin.

redbear76.bsky.social•34 days ago

Future voters aren't going to forget you curtailed their freedom.

anthonyf272.bsky.social•34 days ago

I do not trust this government one inch. This lady Reeves says what she is told to say. Is this something that they hope will help them next Thursday?

catlady9.bsky.social•34 days ago

Afraid of losing young voters.... 🤔

annoyed-aldo.bsky.social•34 days ago

I want young people to be able to find good jobs.

catiomiles.bsky.social•34 days ago

What about study? Or just simply travel longer than 90 days?

And for how long?

And how many?

And what about the rest of us?

possetg.bsky.social•34 days ago

It would be great if she could do the same for our young people who want to work in their own country but lack the skills needed to do so. #apprenticeships

angray.bsky.social•34 days ago

It would be great if she could do the same for our young people who want to work in their own country but lack the opportunity

ruralriding.bsky.social•34 days ago

About bloody time. It’s Europe stupid not USAski.

adamwisent.bsky.social•33 days ago

Seriously only the English could have been so stupid, as to Vote for perpetual economic suicide with #Brexshit. It's not as if you weren't all warned lol 😆

john1000uk.bsky.social•33 days ago

No, I'd like to be part of the EU, full stop.

jj-unifil.bsky.social•34 days ago

Why just young people?
This sounds like age discrimination.

jaekayo.bsky.social•34 days ago

Phucking ageism

northmcmonkey.bsky.social•33 days ago

Yet @uklabour.bsky.social insists on pandering the Brexiteer voters despite having lost them in 2019! They’re not coming back to you; they’re just going to vote Reform, so trying to appease them is pointless! Meanwhile, you’re alienating your left voter base too, probably centrists as well! #Rejoin

northmcmonkey.bsky.social•33 days ago

Or, is it because Labour is continuing to carve the country up into #Freeports and #SEZs, which are banned in this form in the EU?!

@europeanpowell.bsky.social

jw-here.bsky.social•34 days ago

Did.shw say Europe or EU. Whilst Tories and Reform deliberately use Europe for EU in order to heighten the "othermeant" of our fellow Europeans, I would expect Labour (as well as LD and greens) to be more accurate.

listedgrade2.bsky.social•34 days ago

‘Our young people’! Reeves empty words will only become real when she says “I want all young people to be able to work across Europe, including the UK.”

stephenswan.bsky.social•34 days ago

We will see Peter. I don’t trust the Labour one bit. Too many broken promises since Sir Keir Starmer was elected leader of the Labour Party.

bicerin.bsky.social•34 days ago

And then the utterly useless Yvette Cooper popped up. 🙄

debby64.bsky.social•34 days ago

Only young..

writerboyz.bsky.social•34 days ago

I’m sure they do too. Now can we stop this Brexit nonsense and trade freely and travel without visa’s or having to relinquish our ham sandwiches at the border? Brexit is stupid.

partooy.bsky.social•34 days ago

.....and what about people like me who are not young and want to work in Europe???? We need to rejoin.

newmuggleton.bsky.social•34 days ago

Why can't we ALL work in Europe, like we were in the EU? Quite apart from the genocide support, I'll never vote for these idiots who sabotage the country.

darren45.bsky.social•34 days ago

I worked in the EU for 6 years until the ability was took away. So this is a start for the young ones and hopefully it’s opened to all.

alexinredclover.bsky.social•33 days ago

We don’t want a softening, we want to rejoin. This government needs to read the room. The vast majority, even those who voted for Brexit, wants to rejoin. Labour need to stop relying on a vote nine years ago that was based on lies and deceit and grow a backbone and do what the UK needs and wants!

kazzyp.bsky.social•34 days ago

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
FOR EVERYONE ✅

del-boy.bsky.social•34 days ago

iskragoch.bsky.social•34 days ago

Hmmm, we'll see.

caronet.bsky.social•34 days ago

It's about time the advantages to UK young people are pointed out, not just that "they" will come over "here"

weztech.bsky.social•34 days ago

Discrimination.

samanthajt.bsky.social•34 days ago

But if they're transgender she'd prefer them to just not exist at all or be segregated from everyone else.

honestdrjohn.bsky.social•34 days ago

Short of the Single Market (itself a poor alternative to full membership) it's political theatre and (to mix metaphors) pissing in the wind.
And there's no upside to pissing in any sort of theatre, whatever the prevailing climatic conditions (as my solicitor will no doubt tell you).

qualicum.bsky.social•34 days ago

How about everyone being able to live in Europe again?

elizabethscrase.bsky.social•34 days ago

I want the freedom I was born with!

Rejoin.
