We welcome the latest report of the House of Commons Exiting the EU Committee published this morning and in particular the committee's call for ringfencing of the citizens' rights contained in the Withdrawal Agreement in the event of a no deal scenario... bit.ly/2HCnI4D
The report highlights what has been done and what would still need to be done to ensure that UKinEU have a clear legal status at the end of March if this does not happen - emphasising the time this will take and how it may lead to inconsistency between different countries.
We also welcome the raising of other key issues for UK citizens in the EU27 in the case of no deal: what will happen on healthcare and social security, especially the aggregation of pension rights, and to the rights of UK citizens who decide to return to the UK post Brexit

Tomorrow we have 2 experts at the public bill committee which is scrutinising the Immigration and Social Security Co-ordination (EU Withdrawal) Bill. This is the bill that passed its second reading a couple of weeks ago so is now in committee stage.
They will mainly be looking at social security coordination, aggregation of contributions etc but also hope to get a chance to speak on Surinder Singh rights (that's when a UK national returns to the UK with a non-British family member).

Hi @Channel4News, can we have a chat?
We welcome the fact that you have taken the time to visit the EU and speak to some Brits here. There are at least 1.2 million of us who LIVE here full time. EIGHTY PER CENT of us are under retirement age, we run businesses... 1/
we have families, our kids are in education. We live in all the 27 member states.
Many of us watch C4 News for its in-depth reporting, its unveiling of Brexit lies, its quest for the truth, and we thank you for the great work you have done. 2/
But yesterday, we let out a collective sigh of despair as we watched you head to the Spanish coast and interview holidaymakers about their holiday homes and pet passports. Instead of talking about how Dave, the pensioner, cannot sleep at night and is petrified... 3/

A #Brexit thread about our rights.....

The mayhem of the last two days and 900 days in limbo puts the problems with the UK’s paper of last week on citizens’ rights into sharp relief

bit.ly/2LiWJsT
Para 2 says this deal is the only way to protect our rights. Well, it isn’t a good deal for citizens, it doesn’t protect all our rights, or allow us to carry on living our lives as before.

But it’s better than a no deal. 2/
But let’s be serious: the draft WA doesn’t give us certainty because it isn’t legally binding and may never be! 3/

Brexit - 67 days

British democracy was subverted in 2016.

@theresa_may & @jeremycorbyn

I’m sure that your intentions to honour the ‘will of the people’ who voted in the referendum in 2016 are honourable. However.. /1

Watching PMQs today only *one* MP, @AnnaMcMorrin for Cardiff North raised the issue of the unsound result as a result of illegal campaign activity. Her call for a #PeoplesVote or shall we call it, a #FinalSayForAll was rebuffed by you, Prime Minister. Indeed... /2
you rebuffed the call for another referendum many times, each time on the basis that to do so would not respect the result in 2016. Moreover... /3

Amid reports that #UK PM @theresa_may hopes to renegotiate the "backstop" provision on the Northern Ireland border, let's recall that she already made clear what she wants in her letter to #EU leaders before disastrously losing the #Brexit Withdrawal Treaty ratification vote. 1/
"This could be mitigated by changes to the backstop itself," she wrote to @eucopresident & @JunckerEU "Proposals for a way in which the UK could choose to exit the backstop unilaterally were it ever to come into force, or for a hard time limit... 2/
on the duration of the usage of the backstop, have been raised and discussed in Parliament. We have also raised them previously in negotiations." So there are her proposals, i.e. the EU should basically just cave on backstop in face of House of Commons defeat. But but but ... 3/

How @DailyMailUK twisted the results of @Survation poll and created a nice little frontpage to support Theresa May with some beautiful YESes in red and some lovely supporting words, even though the front page does not actually reflects the results of the poll...
So, let's have a closer look at some of the questions asked and the ACTUAL answers of voters...
Q1. When UK Govt's negotiations over the terms of Britain's exit from #EU are complete, would you support or oppose holding a People's Vote - a referendum - asking the public their view?

- Support 48% 👈
- Oppose 34%
- Don't know 18%

Large margin 14% to support a #PeoplesVote!

A thread critiquing this piece by @HughRBennett (It is longer than I had originally intended)

brexitcentral.com/eu-cynically-e…
1/ Hugh starts off with the EU's rejection of HMG's current ideas on option A (a new Customs partnership) which he describes as a "Whitehall pipe-dream". I think an arrangement like the current customs union could be found, but I suspect that is not at all what Hugh would like...
2/...since he seems to be upset that the EU has also so far rejected HMG's ideas on option B, the infamous technology-based solution (alongside trusted trader schemes etc.), the panacea solution for all who want a "hard Brexit" outside the EU's CU and SM rules.
