Keir Starmer is facing outrage today after agreeing to hand the EU £570million to rejoin the Erasmus student exchange programme.
Ministers insisted the deal is 'fair and balanced' despite confirming the eye-watering cost for the first year alone.
Students from Turkey will be eligible to come to the UK in 2027, as the country is an 'associate' member of the scheme. And Brussels has already signalled it wants to expand the arrangements to cover countries such as Egypt, Algeria and Morocco.

Scientists have shed light on the true origins of the so-called "first black Briton".
The skeletal remains - dating from Roman times - were previously thought to belong to a woman from the sub-Saharan region.
This had led her to be dubbed "one of the earliest Africans in Britain".
But scientists have now said they cannot find DNA evidence that indicates she had recent ancestry from Africa.
They detailed in a paper published online on Wednesday that she actually had a strong genetic similarity to individuals from rural Britain.
She likely had blue eyes, between pale and dark skin and light hair, scientists added.
A craniofacial reconstruction of the ancient skeleton had previously depicted her as having curly black hair, brown eyes and dark skin.

Brits will be urged to use pillowcases, bedsheets or coffee filters to make safe drinking water in the event of an extended UK blackout.
Households will also be told to eat chilled or defrosted food before tinned items, cook on camping stoves in the garden and make sure family members receive enough nutrition.
And those who aren’t able to boil water or use purification tablets will be informed they can use regular unscented, household bleach to purify it.
The public health advice was revealed in scripts published by the government which would be read out by the UK’s chief medical officers, including Professor Chris Whitty, on BBC Radio 2 and Radio 4 during a nationwide blackout.

Foreign spouses brought to live in Britain are costing the taxpayer tens of billions over their lifetimes.
A damning report found that foreign-based partners who arrive on a visa will each end up costing the state an average of £109,000 if they stay for the rest of their lives.
Britain saw another 1,300 small-boat arrivals during the past five days, the audit also concluded that migrants entering through asylum and refugee routes make an 'unambiguously negative' contribution to public funds.
New figures in a report from the Government's official immigration advisers, the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC), highlighted the immense cost of immigration to the public purse.

A teacher who described Islam as "satanic" and told pupils that "cocaine was purer back in the day" has been found guilty of professional misconduct.
The Teaching Regulation Agency, external panel heard that Patrick Lawler, who taught in Northumberland and Bristol, also brought the teaching profession into disrepute.
Mr Lawler previously featured in an undercover BBC Wales investigation into extreme far-right views among a group's members in Wales and England, in which he said race war was "inevitable".
The panel will now consider in private whether to make a recommendation to the secretary of state that Mr Lawler should be banned from teaching.
