Andy Burnham’s new government faces a major EU hurdle: tuition fees for EU students. Before Brexit, they paid the same as UK students—far less than international students. Now, the EU wants that gap restored, but universities say they’d lose £580 million, threatening their finances. Brussels is offering a compromise: EU students pay more than UK students but less than full international rates. This tuition dispute is blocking key post-Brexit deals—trade in food and drink, carbon taxes, and a youth mobility program—delayed since the previous PM’s resignation. Talks are now set for October or November to avoid other global events. With a new minister handling EU relations, pressure mounts to resolve this sticking point before unlocking broader cooperation.
