1/4 NEW: @the3million statement on the ring-fencing row: 'We are saddened to see that our pleas are falling on deaf ears, not only with the European Commission but also the European Council – the very people who are representing the countries we are coming from.'
2/ 'If the EU Council refuses to listen to our concerns, a no deal Brexit it will have a disastrous effect on the lives of the 3.6 million EU citizens in the UK and 1.2 million British living in Europe.'
3/ 'If we don’t keep what has been agreed on citizens’ rights, it will leave five million people at the mercy of 28 separate agreements on issues like pensions, family reunion and access to healthcare.'
4/ 'The letter shows that the UK Government has understood the need to safeguard our citizens' rights in case of no deal under the Article 50 procedure. The EU must act now, so we can get on with our lives and stop being the bargaining chips of the Brexit negotiations.'
