As an American living in the UK I can confirm that universal healthcare is a success. And a joy. And it should be the bare minimum in every so-called First World country - even more so the wealthiest country on earth.

It’s exactly this kind of dismal, prejudiced bollox from the Daily Mail that’s got us into the ruinous Brexit mess we’re in. What a moronic response to us rejoining Erasmus and all the benefits that brings. If they’re really worried about cost, they should push to cancel Brexit altogether.

You can’t take Brexiters seriously any more. None of them.

We should have zero respect for anyone who is happy to turn a blind eye to the damage & losses

The news about Erasmus+ prompted Conservative Shadow Foreign Secretary Priti Patel to fulminate: “Labour continue to betray Brexit.

It’s time for Labour to seriously consider rejoining the EU Customs Union because of the economic benefits this would bring

MPs warn that UK agreements with Donald Trump are ‘built on sand’.

UK bullied to pay billions more for NHS drugs produced by US companies, importing US beef, accept steel tariffs and more, without any reciprocity.

Can't trust Trump. US wants dominance, not partnership.

Rejoin the EU.

Rejoining Erasmus is only a betrayal of boneheaded idiocy. About time and bloody great.

Just look at Patel nodding and grinning behind Boris Johnson like the consummate fool she really is.

The 'betrayal of Brexit' response to rejoining Erasmus is obviously predictable, and stupid (Brexit = leaving EU). But what's more striking is how *dated* it seems, like someone still waving a 'Thatcher out' placard.

For 5 years Britain has tiptoed around Europe, afraid to admit what was lost.

Erasmus+ is the first honest step towards rebuilding trust – through people, not tariffs.

Very well said Richard.

This really is spot on. 👏👏👏
Six years after it was scrapped, Erasmus+ is coming back. As our Campaigns Manager, Richard Kilpatrick, explains, this goes far beyond university exchanges, supporting schools, youth programmes, vocational training and deprived communities across the UK.

I do think we have now reached that tipping point where to still be clinging on to the Brexit wreckage makes you look ideologically insane, pathologically ignorant or corrupt.
Those who have a hopeful story to tell about Europe are the ones who will win in the end. We’re so tired of this failure.
