On 27 Aug 2025, UK minister Nick Thomas-Symonds expressed excitement about a new EU youth mobility scheme. This scheme will allow young people to travel and work more freely across Europe. The UK government also aims to sign an agricultural export deal by early 2027. These moves show a shift towards closer ties with the EU after Brexit. The UK wants to align some rules with the EU while seeking exemptions on issues like genetically modified crops. Thomas-Symonds said this alignment will help British businesses and the economy. The government hopes the youth scheme will give young Britons more cultural and work opportunities abroad. This marks a change from earlier reluctance to discuss EU relations. The UK also plans to negotiate on food and farming trade with the EU, reducing border checks and paperwork. These agreements aim to support jobs and trade between the UK and Europe.
