      Also, from the UK side:

      Starmer has promised a significantly closer trading relationship with the EU, and has prioritised a defence and security pact, which officials say can be agreed quickly, and an agreement on agricultural products, which is likely to take longer.

      “We are not considering an EU-wide youth mobility scheme and there will be no return to freedom of movement.”

      I.e. they want free movement of lettuces and things that go boom but still be xenophobic assholes towards their trade partners.
