Important for people’s stories to be heard.

But without an immigration lawyers explanation this @guardian piece risks seriously misleading EU citizens about their rights. > theguardian.com/society/2019/f…
As a immigration lawyer I had clients who thought they knew what the rules were - based on friends, guess-work or false info from Home Office.

That false info can lead to mistakes & low expectations. >
EU Settlement Scheme doesn’t require proof of *economic activity* - only residence. That doesn’t mean officials won’t be difficult. But it’s them ignoring the law that’s the problem - not the rules and rights of EU cits & family members.

But how will Brexit base of comfortable white middle class pay the price - or see the light? Thread. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
Brexit is wildly unpredictable as to reach of its economic harm. But the economically weakest are most at risk: communities that are already just scraping by & individs without capital & personal networks to ride out shocks: to find a replacement job, a loan. >
Brexit’s wealthy heartland is insulated against all but the most serious shocks. >

Why is RTE platforming eugenic racism?
Delete the tweet @rtesport. Delete the broadcast.
No broadcaster should promote eugenics @RTEsport . Least of all the broadcaster for a nation which was so devastated by British eugenic theories of the inferior Irish.

Hi @stephenkerrMP,
Today you claimed in the HoC, in a question for @carolinenokes, that some "parties in this House [...] have spread fear and alarm among EU citizens by questioning Govt’s commitment to their status." You asked Nokes to "set the record straight". Yes, let's! 1/
Here is @David_Cameron spreading fear and alarm among EU citizens ...
❌ by failing to secure our status right away in 2016, instead implying that change might come by saying there will be no 'immediate changes'. nytimes.com/2016/06/25/wor… 2/
Here is @theresa_may spreading fear and alarm among EU citizens ...
❌ by making clear she'd drag us into Brexit negotiations before she even became leader of @Conservatives - in fact, saying this was part of her pitch for that. independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi… 3/

1/ EU citizens brace yourselves over the next weeks & months. The Government is cranking up the anti-EU citizen rhetoric yet again to sell its Brexit deal. Starting today at the @CBItweets conference by accusing EU citizens of jumping job queues.
theguardian.com/politics/2018/…
2/ From "valued citizens" to "queue jumpers" within the space of a week. This is how @10DowningStreet is really caring about us EU citizens. @BritishInEurope will not be pleased about the renewed deterioration in language. Or does the Govt believe that the EU is not listening?
3/ The Government seems to be happy to repeat the divisive tactics of the 2016 referendum to achieve its political goals. We all know where the anti EU citizen rhetoric led to last time - increase in incidents against EU citizens.

Raab said "The first priority of the UK in negotiating our withdrawal from the EU was to reach agreement on the rights of our citizens."

A brief reminder about how much of a priority we were. 1/

theguardian.com/politics/2016/…
"That includes the 3.5 million EU citizens that live in the UK and are valued members of their communities and play an integral part in the life of this country."

It depends what you mean with "valued". As long as we can be milked for taxes? 2/

independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…
"Likewise, the approximately one million UK nationals who currently live in the EU are equally valued by their host countries and communities."

There is zero chance @BritishInEurope can continue lives as before if Brexit happens 3/

House of Lords Constitution Committee has harsh words about the parlous state of #EUwithdrawalbill as it reaches the Lords. Lady Taylor, Chair’s comments speak for themselves.

Link to report here. publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld201719/ld…
Link to @Guardian piece this morning outlining the many fundamental problems with #EUWithdrawalBill theguardian.com/politics/2018/…
A key feature of the Lords #EUWithdrawalBill report is the number of places in which it states that the Bill, as drafted, is "constitutionally unacceptable" or "not constitutionally necessary or appropriate". That may be the most important aspect for non-lawyers to understand.
