1/ The UK government paper on the "No deal" position of @The3Million and @BritishInEurope has finally been published. Thread on the key points.
2/ The starting point is that the settled status scheme for @The3Million would work in the same way as under the withdrawal agreement, including a five year period to leave and then return. (Obviously this would not be an international law obligation, however). 
3/ As an exception, there would be some differences due to the absence of a transition period.
a) cut off on Brexit day
b) registration ends earlier
c) no CJEU jurisdiction
d) lower expulsion threshold applies earlier
(No mention of the monitoring authority set up under the WA)

4/ The cut off date for applying EU free movement law family reunion rights would also be Brexit Day, although the actual family reunion could take place within the following three years. After then stricter UK rules would apply.
5/ Equal treatment for access to benefits, education etc also "broadly" preserved. No reference to export of benefits. Qualifications recognised if application is made before Brexit Day.
6/ For @BritishInEurope there's little UK can do. As I've noted before the Commission is indifferent and the European Parliament hasn't pushed it. Their position would largely be up to national law. They would be *far* better off under the withdrawal agreement, despite its flaws.
7/ UK will still uprate pensions, *subject to reciprocity*. Access to the NHS if they return to the UK. Alarmingly vague statement about non-UK family members on return to the UK.
8/ Cumulation of social security contributions will be up to negotiations. Commitment to voting rights for @The3Million in May 2019 local elections (no mention of afterwards). Seeking reciprocity for @BritishInEurope voting rights.
9/ UK would still seek a deal with EFTA States so EFTA citizens in UK/UK citizens in EFTA would have rights "broadly as now". No further details.
10/ Overall: main changes would arise from bringing dates forward. Inherently the UK and EU27 could also lower rights in future. @BritishInEurope far worse off depending on what EU27 Member States do in practice. //
