#THREAD 3rd joint report on the #implementation of #citizensrights provisions has just been released - makes alarming reading re: #britsinEU. In countries where people need to register by 30/6 lots of applications outstanding 1/
Quick reminder of the countries where this is the case #france #latvia #luxembourg #thenetherlands #malta and here's where each of them were up to at last report date ⬇️⬇️⬇️2/

So let’s get this straight: you are taking away rights from your citizens and when they want them back, you accuse them of trying to bypass the rules!
Dear Mr Johnson (@BorisJohnson). I've had some time to think overnight and would like to apologise...
.. for treating the United Kingdom for 37 years as if it was my own country. That was amiss of me. As was being a father to three (British) children, and being a husband, a son-in-law, a brother-in-law and uncle to an unsuspecting family here. Or being ....
... a friend and colleague. I shouldn't have laid claim to jobs. I even created some, which I guess was really not on. I should never have presumed I could buy a house here and be good neighbour, or ....
