1/4 Can’t begin to say how brilliant it is to see my amendment in black and white on the order paper today. I’m hugely grateful to those colleagues who have very kindly supported my amendment to ringfence rights for those EU citizens in the UK and those in UK citizens in the EU. 
2/4 The huge number of MPs supporting my amendment is a testament to the fantastic @the3million & @BritishInEurope who have been working tirelessly to encourage to support this and, as ever, continue to do fantastic work in supporting both EU & UK nationals.
3/4 This issue transcends party politics, we are not dealing in borders or backstops, but people's lives and their livelihoods - I have been hugely encouraged by the messages of support and hope received from thousands of EU citizens in the UK & UK citizens abroad.
4/4 I very much hope, and look forward, to be taking my amendment forward today with support from MPs across the House, to give the Gov't a mandate to seek reciprocal citizens rights in order to bring EU & UK citizens the protections they both need and deserve. #CostaAmendment
