The latest from over that way is that France is increasing its pension age from 62-64/65, apparently the natives are getting restless.

Pension amounts are determined by number of years of residency from age fifteen to the minimum age permitted to receive the pension (age 62).
It will be interesting to see if the U.K does go back in, the blue collar people voted them out, the elites wanted to stay in, time will tell.
We will see if the U.K worker subsidising EU early retirement and losing jobs to EU work gangs in caravans, wins over the U.K rich wanting to get back to easy travel to the summer vacation houses on the French Riviera and the Amalfi Coast.
