BRUSSELS will push Sir Keir Starmer into accepting fresh demands on the proposed youth mobility scheme, critics fear.
Eurocrats are calling for relatives to be allowed to travel here with under-35s from EU countries eligible to work, study and live in the UK.

Concerns are being raised the PM could cave in on the issue after he was ambushed for a 12-year demand over fishing rights.
Shadow Foreign Secretary Priti Patel said: “The stench of weakness from Keir Starmer has been seized upon by Brussels and it’s no surprised they have come back for more concessions.”
Ex-Cabinet Minister Esther McVey said the deal would be bad for the job prospects of young Brits in this country.
She said: “Starmer’s surrender deal will be bad for young Brits Under Labour UK youth unemployment is up to 14.2% & job vacancies are down – across Europe, Spain, France, Portugal etc it’s worse
“His youth mobility scheme will push Europe’s young unemployed here.”
Downing Street hit back at calls for relatives to come here — saying it would be a red line as part of any talks outlining they would not be allowed access to benefits.
A spokesman said any scheme would have to mirror similar ones already set up with 30 countries, including Australia, but are capped and time limited.
Labour MP Jo White said any such scheme must benefit all Brits rather than just being for “middle class kids on their gap year”.
Meanwhile, 29 per cent of Brits see the new pact with the EU signed on Monday by the PM as being good for the country while 26 per cent see it as bad.
Half of Labour voters have a positive view of the deal, which falls to 14 per cent for Tory supporters but only five per cent of Reform UK voters.
