Labour last week finally admitted that it was pursuing a youth mobility deal with the EU after claiming for months that there was “no plan” for one. Coming up on Monday at the EU “strategic partnership” summit in London…

Funnily enough the makeup of EU youth citizens has changed significantly since we were last privy to their arrival. That’s thanks to some wide-ranging migrant naturalisation schemes introduced in recent years…

• ITALY: Naturalisation timelines halved from ten to five years. 157,652 sea arrivals in 2023 will gain EU citizenship rights in 2028. So 150,000 annually right there…
• SPAIN: New five-year naturalisation pathway is supported by legal aid access. Expected to process about 70,000 new EU citizens annually from 2029…
• GERMANY: Naturalisation path reduced from eight to five years with three-year fast track availability applies to 2.5 million legal resident migrants. That’s projected to create 400,000-500,000 new EU citizens annually from 2028…
• BULGARIA: Citizenship programme expanded. 50,000-100,000 new citizens annually…

A hugely-expanded mobile workforce of naturalised asylum seekers for the UK to be signing up to…

This is the height of irony on the day that Starmer announced his intention to control legal migration in the future. Claims are that arrivals will be capped will be no reassurance to those familiar with the UK’s ability to track incomings and outgoings. Millions of newly-naturalised EU citizens will therefore gain access to the UK under a deal. Brexit – what Brexit?
