Hope resides in our young people. But Brexit has held them back. They should be able to live, work and study in Europe, which is exactly what our Youth Experience Scheme will deliver. This is part of rebuilding a stronger relationship with Europe. That's the Labour choice.

A good, v. fair review of a neglected poet described by Robert Graves, 1944: 'Lynette Roberts is one of the few true poets now writing.' The intro & editorial work by Patrick McGuinness & Charles Mundye is excellent. Emily Berry - London Review of Books - goo.gl/alerts/s7cn1T
