PM open to discussing EU free movement
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has expressed his willingness to engage in a "factual" and "evidence-based" discussion about reinstating free movement between the UK and the European Union.
The statement comes after a meeting with Labour's shadow home secretary, Yvette Cooper, who has been a vocal advocate for the reintroduction of free movement. The policy allowed EU citizens to live and work in the UK without restrictions before the UK's departure from the EU.
Sunak's openness to discussing the issue marks a shift in tone from his previous stance, which has been more cautious on the matter. The Prime Minister's comments are seen as a potential olive branch to those who have been critical of the current immigration system, which has been criticized for being overly restrictive.
The debate around free movement is set to continue, with many arguing that it is essential for the UK's economic and social well-being.
