London Mayor Advocates for Youth Mobility Agreement with EU

Sadiq Khan suggests reevaluating Brexit decisions as he seeks third term in office.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan has called for a '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.
Khan argues that the UK's hard Brexit has done damage across London, particularly impacting young people who now find it more difficult to move abroad for work or study.
The Mayor has also suggested that rejoining the EU customs union should be considered when the Brexit deal with the EU comes up for review in 2024.
Khan's comments have been seen as one of the most pro-European interventions by a senior Labour politician since the 2016 referendum.
Khan is seeking a record third term in office in this year's mayoral election, and his main challenger is expected to be the rightwing Conservative and strongly pro-Brexit candidate Susan Hall.
