@alexandrabulat @TonyP12490831 Some of us have been banging on about the loss of this precious right, repeatedly, since this whole #Brexit nightmare fiasco began.

Here's an example of a thread on it:

@alexandrabulat @TonyP12490831 Stripping us of reciprocal #FreeMovement rights shows how regressive #Brexit is.

There are parallels between our country's lamentable treatment of the poor in the past (the Poor Laws from 1587 to 1967) with what the Tories are up to now:

@alexandrabulat @TonyP12490831 I've made dozens of memes to try to get the message across of just how damaging the loss of the right of #FreeMovement will be. Sometimes a picture can do more than words.

Two-thirds of Brits want to keep this right. There's no mandate for .@Conservatives to strip it from us.

@alexandrabulat @TonyP12490831 @Conservatives I've amplified politicians who defend #FreedomOfMovement, thrown my weight behind petitions and tried to help others understand how important it is not to close off this avenue of social mobility for the working classes (having experienced that myself).

#MoveFreely #FreeMovement

@alexandrabulat @TonyP12490831 @Conservatives I've shared articles about the need for #FreeMovement (like this one prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/in-de…),
explained it's not just about easier travel for the middle classes and even made a clip about it debunking May's fraudulent claim that Brits' FoM would not be impacted by #Brexit.

@alexandrabulat @TonyP12490831 @Conservatives Since I made that clip the settled status fee has been abolished. But it's a proverbial drop in the ocean compared to the tsunami of sh*t EU-in-UK & UK-in-EU citizens have had to endure for 3+yrs now.

Also, Prig Patel has set the *low skill* wage threshold even higher at £36k 🤬

@alexandrabulat @TonyP12490831 @Conservatives Apart from updating that clip, continuing to write epic threads, make memes, push/sign petitions, share articles, amplify supportive MPs, write letters, generally protest/canvas/street stalls — what else cld I be doing to get the message *loss of FoM rights is a #Tragedy* across?

@alexandrabulat @TonyP12490831 @Conservatives All suggestions of what more I can do welcome!

Let's save reciprocal FoM rights for the good of our fellow citizens (both EU in UK and UK in EU), our service industries (80% of our GDP) and our country.

Three cheers for #FreedomOfMovement #FreeMovement #FoM !!!
