The EU is pushing the UK to adopt a youth mobility scheme, allowing young Europeans to live in Britain for four years. This proposal is vital for post-Brexit negotiations and has split the Labour party over immigration concerns.

The UK government remains firm against restoring freedom of movement but is willing to discuss the EU's proposals. Acceptance of the scheme could influence broader talks on security and trade, with the EU tying it to improvements in the UK's adherence to the Withdrawal Agreement. 

"Far right" voices may oppose the scheme, while "progressive" factions may support it. The outcome remains uncertain, but the stakes are high for both sides.
