Sources fear PM’s meeting with Ursula von der Leyen has been postpooned due to Labour’s doubts about reinstating EU student exchange schemes
Keir Starmer’s anticipated summit with the president of the European Commission has been postponed over what some see as the British government’s caution about reinstating programmes such as the youth mobility and Erasmus university exchange schemes.
The prime minister was expected to meet Ursula von der Leyen in the first or second week of September, but sources say a meeting may now not happen until the end of October at the earliest.
