Settled Status "simple & straightforward" application process for EU citizens getting more and more crazy: "2019 Provide evidence of residence for any 6 months of this year" Anyone got a time machine?

We guess being reminded over Christmas of the 'need to apply' to stay in the country we call home, when we finally want to switch off from the uncertainty Brexit is causing to us 3.6m EU citizens, will go down pretty badly in households across the UK. Poor timing @ukhomeoffice .

. @Peston - powerful on @Channel4News right now: "...if they [UK Government] messed up the problem for probably few 10s of thousands of people who came here 30 or 40 years ago, goodness knows how much of a mess they will make of making sure that those EU citizens feel secure here"

There are 3.6m EU citizens in the UK. Over 600k of them are children under 16. Watch how Brexit has impacted them. EU citizens are your neighbours, friends, colleagues but also the best friend of your daughters & sons at school.

"I want someone to tell me I'm safe in this country - that I'm not going to get kicked out." More than 600,000 children living in the UK were born in other EU countries, so how do they feel about Brexit and their future?

. @joannaccherry from @theSNP asking the Home Secretary to support the Costa Amendment. The SNP was the first party to make ring-fencing of #citizensrights of EU citizens in the UK & @BritishInEurope party policy & have been relentless in forcing the issue over the last months.

@GoodwinMJ Hello Matthew, have you got a source to the 90% statistic? Just asking as the Home Office is unable to provide as it a) has admitted that it has no reliable statistic on number of EU citizens in the UK and b) the published quantitive number contains double applications.

The announcement of a “Settled Status” for EU citizens after Brexit is, in effect, telling people who have lived in the UK for years that they were “never really one of us”, the Bishop of Leeds, the Rt Revd Nick Baines, has said.

The myth of EU citizens having more rights than UK citizens - again. We can't vote, out of work benefits restricted to 6 months during the first 5 years. But UK happy to take our taxes & NI and Govt happy to restrict our rights even further. Please come off it @andrew_lilico .

It is not too late to stop this madness of turning law abiding citizens into unlawful residents. The status can still be made automatic, put into law now, and for the EU Settlement Scheme to be changed from application to registration. Read more here:
