As well as working as an academic, Fiona works with @GyrosOrg to help EU nationals access legal advice and support – allowing her to understand everyday problems facing EU nationals on the frontline.
📝Fiona co-authored our report on the EU settlement scheme. The report explains:
📌the scheme and how it works
📌its background
📌who has applied and who may not have
📌and the lessons we have learned so far.
🔎One of @fiona_costello’s important findings is that Non-EU Family Members of EU Nationals have experienced the highest refusal rates and difficulties interacting with the EU settlement scheme.

Reflecting on lessons from elsewhere in Europe on how to achieve regional economic convergence, @thomasforth@ODILeeds@TheDataCity argues for a commitment to invest more in skills, transport, research and development & culture in cities across the UK👇👇
@michaelkenny_ & @TKelsey915 lay out the evidence that 'a top-down plan for place-based intervention, based upon bilateral negotiations with local areas, runs the risk of enforcing the priorities & orthodoxies of the centre'📝
.@simonjhix: "In the medium term, Brexit is a challenge to the EU. There will be a UK model of exit."
"At some point, the UK model will seem quite attractive, which could be politically very difficult for the EU."
.@HelenHet20: "The EU's reaction to #Brexit was primarily defensive, but there was an opportunity to face the euro-ins and euro-outs question head on."
"Instead, it was seen as a potential long-term threat to the EU's credibility."
.@BorisJohnson has said that no deal with the EU would be a “good outcome” for the UK.
This report highlights what it would mean in terms of trade, fisheries, connectivity, the impact on citizens, Northern Ireland, economics, security, foreign policy, politics and more.
On #trade, the two sides would revert to #WTO rules.
We’re talking tariffs, customs checks, and regulatory checks. In other words, increased hassle, increased time and increased costs for businesses trading with the EU.
. @jillongovt: "No deal now is not the same as last year because the financial settlement, citizens' rights and Northern Ireland were dealt with in the Withdrawal Agreement."
. @anandMenon1: "Sovereignty is not such an issue on foreign and defence - it's as much about optics."
"Foreign policy is being underprioritised by both sides. This is not just the UK - the question is whether the EU is willing to accept the UK is not any other 3rd country."
First, @BBCkatyaadler says the general consensus is that if a solution on state aid can be found - a big if - then everything else would be likely to click into place in trade negotiations. #isolationinsight
.@D0Sullivan 'Accusations of bad faith are the last refuge in trade negotiations. The EU view is that a deal is still possible ... but something broke last week that will not readily be fixed'. #isolationinsight
