Sadiq Khan: ‘Free young people from Brexit work and travel ban’

Mayor calls for youth mobility agreement' in one of the most pro-European interventions by a Labour politician since EU exit

London mayor Sadiq Khan has called for young people to be able to move freely to and from the EU for the first time since Brexit in order to lessen the economic and cultural damage caused by the UK's decision to leave the European Union.

Speaking to the Observer in one of the most pro-European interventions by a senior Labour politician since the 2016 referendum, Khan said he backs either a bespoke youth mobility" agreement with EU countries, or changes to post-Brexit visa rules that currently restrict travel and the ability to work in other European countries.
