Refreshing to hear @nicktorfaen hinting at the freedoms we all used to have.
Perhaps we will all get those back again some day.
Great to hear about the Erasmus+ work. That’s a big positive step. (Problem is, it still doesn’t come with a visa)

Hungary chose the EU 👏 🇭🇺 🇪🇺
…Once day the UK will be able to choose again too. 🇬🇧 ♥️ 🇪🇺

Brexit didn’t stop people moving.
It stopped people living.
You can still travel.
But you can’t just stay.
You can’t just say yes.
That quiet freedom is gone.
Scrap the barriers. Bring it back.
#VoicesofLostFOM #SaveFOM
Remember when you could just go?
No forms.
No limits.
No second thoughts.
Now it’s paperwork, timers, and risk.
Brexit didn’t simplify life.
It made everything harder.
Time to scrap the barriers.
#VoicesofLostFOM #SaveFOM
We were told Brexit would give us more control.
Instead, we got limits.
Limits on where we can stay.
Limits on how long.
Limits on what we can do.
That’s not freedom.
Scrap the restrictions. Restore mobility.

"When people say, 'You can still apply for a visa,' they’re technically right. But modern careers don’t wait for visa timelines. By the time the paperwork clears, the contract has gone to someone else."

Brexit the Elephant has been skiing in the Alps.
“It’s a shame it’s more difficult now for young Brits to be ski instructors or work in chalets as hosts,” he reflected as he traversed the piste.

Most people don’t want friction when they travel, work or study abroad.
They just don’t always connect that preference with the policies that make it possible.
#RejoinEU #Brexit #SaveFOM
You can get broad support for simpler travel, easier work access, and fewer barriers.
But much less support if you package all of that under a single political label.
Packaging matters.
#RejoinEU #Brexit #SaveFOM
There’s a gap between what people say they oppose and what they actually prefer in practice.
That gap is where most of this debate now sits.
#RejoinEU #Brexit #SaveFOM
Freedom of Movement became a political symbol.
But when you strip it back to how it actually worked, many of the objections disappear.
What people reject isn’t always the system itself.
#RejoinEU #Brexit #SaveFOM
The argument isn’t really about mobility.
It’s about what people think mobility represents.
Change the framing, and you often change the answer.
#RejoinEU #Brexit #SaveFOM
If you ask:
Do you want fees? No.
Delays? No.
Complex visa processes? No.
You quickly end up describing a system that looks a lot like Freedom of Movement.
Just without calling it that.
#RejoinEU #Brexit #SaveFOM
It’s easier to build support for removing restrictions than it is to build support for Freedom of Movement.
Not because people disagree with the outcome.
But because they react to the label.
#RejoinEU #Brexit #SaveFOM
Ask people:
Should travel, work and study in Europe be quick, simple and low-cost?
Most say yes.
Call it “Freedom of Movement” and support drops.
Same idea. Different reaction.
#RejoinEU #Brexit #SaveFOM
It’s striking how often people say they oppose Freedom of Movement.
But when you ask what they want instead, they describe something very similar—just without the label.
This debate is less about policy than about how it’s understood.

Brexit stole your Freedom of Movement and gave you a queue at passport control. Was it worth it—for a blue passport made in France and printed in Poland? #Brexit #FreedomOfMovement #RealityCheck #VoicesofLostFOM #SaveFOM
And government plans to assuage their frustration with a token youth mobility scheme that gives them a taster of what we used to have before taking it away again at age 30.

Brexit wasn’t inevitable.
And the damage it’s causing isn’t irreversible.

Brexit didn’t just take away rights. It took away normal life for millions of Brits across Europe.

—He did offer one foolproof way to beat delays this summer. "If you're eligible for a European passport, just get one."—

I’m going to be in Brussels in April with @savefom.bsky.social
Who should I meet and talk to about changing UK attitudes to mutual Freedom of Movement?

“Because for millions of people, the
freedom to live, and move and work across borders was simply part of normal life.
Until it wasn't.”
