Zero chance UK Home Office could process immigration applications for all the EU citz working in UK by Brexit deadline of Mar’19. #NoDealBrexit
More than 2 million EU cits work in UK. Along with 1000s of non-EU family members. ons.gov.uk/employmentandl…
Home Office is still trialling the beta version of its “settlement” scheme - to give EU citz & family immigration leave to remain under UK rules.

Thread. “Common Market 2.0” is much more honest about state legal powers under EEA to control FMoPeople.

But if’s still seriously false. 1/
Claim 1: EEA states can use “Safeguard Powers” to control FMoPeople. Unlike others, SM2 recognises key limitations: it’s an emergency power, and only regional or sectoral. 2/
SM2 *don’t* claim Safeguard clause could be used to actually stop people entering UK or taking up jobs. 3/

Migrants crossing Channel: not an actual crisis, but potentially a policy crisis for UK Gov. Or is it another lever for May’s Brexit deal? Thread 1/
A few hundred people have been caught trying to reach Kent coast from France in last few weeks. Mostly Syrians & Iraqis it seems. theguardian.com/global/2018/de… 2/
People in this situation usually claim asylum ASAP. It takes a total of couple of days of Home Office staff time for each individual’s paperwork, interview & decision. 3/

“Prevention” is what led to this (small number of) people risking their lives. But sure, let’s spend more money on that.
“Prevention” smashed up the Calais migrant town, where migrants had better chance of informed choices - where they could share info & be helped by informed NGOs.

Because immigration enforcers see info sharing as a threat, not a protection.
“Prevention” requires UK visas from people from countries where persecution is rife. So they can’t use regular planes, trains, boats or busses.

1/ With 2018 drawing to an end we are looking back at a year with many ups and some downs.
2/ In March 2018 the #citizensrights part of the Withdrawal Agreement was finalised.

Though not optimal, especially for our friends the @BritishInEurope who will lose onward movement, for the first time since the referendum EU citizens in the UK had some form of certainty.
3/ Towards the end of 2018 the threat of #NoDealBrexit was growing though. The #citizensrights certainty provided by the Withdrawal Agreement slipping away slowly. Replaced by ‘unilateral promises’ of fewer rights with lesser future protection.

THREAD on the Subject of #Brexit & Respect...with a hint of Betrayal.

#Remain #Remainers, #RemainerNow Pls RT or feel free to Use this whenever you are told to Respect the Non-Binding Referendum & by all means add some more.
1. #Brexiters & #Lexiters have 2 justications, apart from 'we won you lost', for the #BrexitShambles.
Namely that we must RESPECT the #Brexit Ref result & that to seek to overturn it would BETRAY the Will of the 'British People'. (nb they often omit the N. Irish)
2. Respect or Lack of Respect & Betrayal at the heart of #Brexit...so...why should we Respect the EURef 2016 & Who or What is being Betrayed?

All medias, when they talk about @The3Million EU citizens living in the UK and #Brexit, they talk about families and how they can become very vulnerable.
But my story is not covered by this situation and is not unique.
We're vulnerable without a family to support us. Thread 1/20
I came in the UK in Oct 2013 to follow a boyfriend that I had by that time and because I wanted to leave France.
I thought that would be a great opportunity as lots of french young professionals want to go to the UK. That was my chance. 2/20
I was an Electrical Engineer in France with an equivalent of a Bachelor of Science in Electrical engineering. I did not know the English language very well and most important, the British Standards. But I did my 50% of my Bachelor in Germany so I thought I'll be alright. 3/20

1. Worst national leadership in my lifetime forcing through the most damaging, misguided & missold policy I can remember. Ideology & vested self interest replace statesmanship, soundbites replace sound judgement & autocracy subverts democracy.
#Brexit harms us irreparably #FBPE
2. A flawed Leave campaign based on lies, deceit, disingenuity & over simplification & a #Remain one fought w/o any positivity from the Govt & no real commitment from Labour, whose leader was virtually AWOL, did no justice to #Brexit complexity & betrayed our democratic process.
3. A mere 37% of voters/26.5% of the Ppl voted leave in a legally Non-Binding test of public opinion which has been corrupted, on the basis of an illegitimate political promise & interpreted as being the irrefutable Will of the Ppl.
The 1st is insufficient to claim the latter!
