A great number of you supported our CrowdJustice appeal which enabled us to research and analyse well over 1,000 individual cases of citizens on both sides of the Channel who were denied their vote. We used our findings to get advice from our expert public law practitioners.
Following this advice BiE, will not pursue further action at this stage. However, @the3million will go ahead to start legal proceedings against the Government. You can support them and donate to their new appeal.
Our full explanation can be read here:

The Exiting the EU Select Committee has started with EUinUK. UKinEU will follow afterwards. Watch live here:
parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/cc…
Clear evidence from the first panel about EUinUK reflecting many of the same issues as we face re reaching and then assisting vulnerable or hard to reach populations, such as accessibility, languages etc.
Funding is important. How to reach rural communities of EUinUK = how to reach rural UKinEU. We have had NO FUNDING from the UK or EU to help reach vulnerable or inaccessible populations (or anything else). Is this fair? There has been v limited funding made available for EUinUK.

While we welcome amplification of our issues, this actual situation is that there are contingency plans in place for the short term in key countries for a no deal scenario (but there are worrying holes). We are presenting evidence on this to the Exiting the EU committee on Weds.
However, if the UK won't pay their debts etc, we don't know if these plans will be revised. What is clear is that this uncertainty has already caused many pensioners to return to the UK if they can, while those who cannot for financial or physical reasons...
have spent 3 years living in fear as cliff-edge after cliff-edge arrives, always fearing the worst as there is very little information available and little effort has been made to reach them. This is no way for anyone to live and has caused much deterioration in health.

Commenting on the latest letter from Secretary of State for Exiting the EU, Stephen Barclay, to Michel Barnier regarding the ringfencing of citizens’ rights in the event of a no deal Brexit, Jane Golding, Co-Chair of British in Europe said:
‘At times our fight to protect our citizens' rights feels like one step forward and two steps back. However, today we are pleased to see that our recent meeting with Secretary of State for Exiting the EU Steve Barclay has resulted in a clearly worded letter to Michel Barnier ...
reflecting fairly and fully the issues we raised.

Mr Barclay is right that we are not asking for the withdrawal agreement to be re-opened. And a ringfenced withdrawal agreement is infinitely better than 28 unilateral national solutions that...

Dear Parliamentarians,

You will be debating today on a number of issues and from time to time "implement the result" and "respect democracy" will be said. Since there seems to be some confusion around these terms, I've written this helpful guide.
1. In the days of the monarchy, people ruled by accident of birth. The job came with a duty to the country and its people.
2. Some monarchs didn’t live up to their duties and this tended to result in wars or revolutions. Democracy was seen as a solution to this. Our leaders come from us, they are hired and fired by us, and we make the rules so we follow the rules.

This all started because the #MetPolice & #LBRUT couldn't do their day jobs properly & decided to take the law into their own hands. It started as a small cover up 12 years ago but has turned into British State Persecution.

#Skynews #BBCNews #DailyMail #Guardian #Euronews
My company was raided. It should have been a straightforward matter. But the #MetPolice & #LBRUT forgot to seize my computer & came back to do a 2nd raid. The search warrant didn't permit a second entry, however, #LBRUT entered unlawfully

#Guardian #Telegraph #DailyMail #GMB #UK
Complaints were then made to my MP #VinceCable. He liaised with the #Metpolice & #LBRUT. And then weeks later, the search warrant was completely changed & was passed off as the search warrant executed on the day of the raids.

Thank you to the literally thousands of tweeps who sent comments, DMs, RTs, & likes for this tweet, truly.

I was amazed & humbled by the well meant pieces of sage advice & as always slightly humored by often misspelled or misdirected trollings.

1/
I find it exciting that so many are so tuned into the midterm elections, which will be one of the most consequential elections in our nation's long history.

Blue or die.

I am also encouraged by the response from actual Texans who often said that the poll is nonsense.

2/
Like me, those Texans believe that @BetoORourke can and must win next month.

Sending Ted Cruz packing is not just a national priority, it's a Texan one as well.

Thank for being an active participant in your democracy.

You might just help save us.

1/ Yesterday @theSNP passed an important resolution to protect the #citizensrights of EU citizens in the UK & @BritishInEurope in case of a no deal Brexit. There are now 35 Scottish MPs in Westminster who will fight for a separate citizens' rights agreement.
2/ The Prime Minister & Dominic Raab have advocated unilateral guarantees to secure rights. Apart from unilateral guarantees protecting less rights (eg. state pensions & recognition of professional qualifications) creating 28 unilateral guarantees across the EU will lead to chaos
3/ 28 unilateral guarantees will lead to divergence of rights and to conflict which could affect citizens on both sides of the channel. With no public body to resolve these conflicts.

How Many Non Citizens Vote?

How many non-citizens vote is a question that has yet to be answered, but Trump’s Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity headed by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach is attempting to find an answer.

There is certainly enough evidence to show that a significant number of non-citizens have voted across the United States. Jess Richman and David Earnest of Old Dominion University reviewed incidents of voting by non-citizens, and while some have argued that illegal voting

is inconsequential, Richman and Earnest attempted to find exactly how many non-citizens vote. They concluded that, “[M]ost non-citizens do not register, let alone vote. But enough do that their participation can change the outcome of close races.”1 Using data from the
