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.

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.

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.

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.

The argument isn’t really about mobility.
It’s about what people think mobility represents.
Change the framing, and you often change the answer.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Who should I meet and talk to about changing UK attitudes to mutual Freedom of Movement?

freedom to live, and move and work across borders was simply part of normal life.
Until it wasn't.”

Stubb: “Get out of the mindset that the UK should not be a part of the customs union or the UK should not be a part of the internal market. Think about a flexible way of dealing
with it.”

6. Rejoining the EU restores full Freedom of Movement, reduces economic friction and returns the UK to shared decision-making.
If we want opportunity, stability and growth this is the logical way forward.

1. Thread 🧵 People want fairness, opportunity and stability in life.
Families shouldn’t be separated by bureaucracy. Young people deserve the chance to study, work and build relationships across borders.
Businesses need less friction, not more.
