Trevelyan's mother, who is French, was - like so many - shafted by Brexit.

Until Brexit, she had the right to live in the UK under FoM.

Post Brexit, she had to apply to stay.

With fewer rights.

And Johnson acolyte Trevelyan merely smiles.
@annietrev Today, one EU citizen in UK says:

"Today marks the end of my automatic rights in a country I've called home for over 30 years. I am now at the mercy of political promises and Home Office processes... my status HAS changed. My heart is heavy."

@annietrev, you should be ashamed.
@annietrev .@annietrev

Why limit people's lives in this way?

SM/CU/FoMP would have been totally consistent with the 'mandate' of the referendum.

But you Tories chose the hardest of Brexit deals:

⇝ out of ideology
⇝ to (try to) keep your Party together.

YOU have blighted lives.
@annietrev .@annietrev

So quit the bumptious self-satisfied smiling, will you, and accept some responsibility for damaging the lives of people who have had rights to live, work and love freely across 28 EU countries taken away from them.

By your government.
@annietrev Finally, @annietrev, here are some reflections just today from people whose lives have been damaged by destruction of FoMP, and #EUSS.

Read them.

Not that you will give a toss.

But you can't say that you haven't been told.
@annietrev PS

@annietrev

Here's @BorisJohnson's 26 June 2016 piece in the Telegraph.

It was effectively a lie, was it not?

"British people will still be able to go and work in the EU; to live; to travel; to study; to buy homes and to settle down..."

@BorisJohnson repeated the lie in #PMQs that, if we had remained in EMA, "we would have been unable to deliver the vaccine rollout at all".

The UK was in transition period when the vaccine rollout started. EU rules applied.

You did not intervene.

Why not?
@CommonsSpeaker @BorisJohnson If, Mr Speaker, you cannot intervene to insist that the PM corrects the grossest of lies, then what is your rôle?

What are you for?

How far does parliamentary democracy have to slide into the dung heap before you find your courage, and act?
@CommonsSpeaker @BorisJohnson Channel 4 Fact Check points out that "Brexit did not speed up UK vaccine authorisation".

So, are you going to bring Johnson back to correct the record? When?

You are lying, again. It was the LAW.

See the next tweet for images.

① The The Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (Steps) (England) Regulations 2021 were signed BY YOU on 22 March 2021.

② Step 2 started 12 April 2021, and ended 17 May 2021...
@MattHancock ... The S*n CTTV grab was from 6 May, and so Step 2 applied.

③ You breached Schedule 2 and Reg 7(2), and should resign.

(All images are from UKG's own web pages.)
@MattHancock .@metpoliceuk @CPSUK

On 6 May 2021, Matt Hancock broke Sch 2 and Reg 7(2) of the Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (Steps) (England) Regulations 2021.

It was not a breach of *guidance* as he has claimed, but of the *law*.

He should be investigated for that breach.

Kim Jong-Ollie, showing his real autocratic instincts.

And FFS stop taking us for mugs.

'They said it was to unite us. But its real purpose was to divide'.
@OliverDowden Oh, and corrected that for you, @educationgovuk. Image
@OliverDowden @educationgovuk Thirdly, this naff song.

① Who the hell thought that was a good idea?

② Who paid for it? The taxpayer?

③ How much did it cost?

#Newsnight digs up a clip of @David_Cameron (then PM) saying that lobbying was "the next big scandal waiting to happen".

Oops.

#Greensill
@David_Cameron .@campbellclaret on #Newsnight, saying that Johnson and his ministers regularly break all 7 of the #NolanPrinciples - and he finds it "scary" that no one seems, with this government, to care very much about those breaches of public standards, or to view them as scandals.
@David_Cameron @campbellclaret Prof Elizabeth David-Barrett says on #Newsnight that the matters around Cameron/Arcuri are not so much about rule-breaking as "declining [public] standards".

And she gives examples, including those around (lack of) transparency.

No.

@pritipatel is - and has been found to be - a bully.

On her public utterances alone, "kind" is the last word anyone would apply to her.

@TomTugendhat used to be so much better than this feeble submission to all things neo-Tory.

What happened to him?
@pritipatel @TomTugendhat The only reason Patel may have some support across parts of the Tory bedrock vote, despite her incompetence and bullying, is that her unremitting xenophobia appeals to part of that increasingly UKIPified constituency.

@pritipatel @TomTugendhat And, after her frankly subversive Israel meetings, she should never have been appointed to a senior or indeed any govt post.

The only reason she was, was her hardline Brexiter credentials.

Mr Tugendhat does himself no favours in supporting her.

Such a vile tweet, which implies that you cannot be both Muslim and British/English.

This tweet is reported to @Conservatives @10DowningStreet @amandamilling and to @HoCStandards.
@Conservatives @10DowningStreet @amandamilling @HoCStandards @Mike_Fabricant To be scrupulously fair, Fabricant did also tweet as below a little later.

But the tweet at the head of this short thread has not been deleted, or apologised for. Image
