3/. BiE have made the reciprocity point constantly at all of their meetings with ministers over the last two years but either they are not getting it or they don’t care. BiE has a meeting with a foreign minister this afternoon and will make the point again.

2/. This is harmful and may endanger better reciprocal offers made by the member states to us. Spain has already threatened to withdraw the requisite part of its Brexit decree if reciprocity is not applied to Spanish citizens in the U.K.

Bless, a few Brits living and working in the EU are too frightening to face? Imagine if all 1.3 million of us came together....
Not so much of the Incredible Hulk now!

Meanwhile, new PM or not, volunteer organisations like ours get on with trying to ring fence citizens' rights for the 5 million to protect us from the idiocy of a no deal. Our team has met Iraxte Garcia Perez, pres of the S&D group this morning. Here with EPP MEP González Pons.
Today our team is back in Brussels fighting for our rights alongside the fabulous @the3million. Our agenda is packed - please donate today to help us fund trips like this one, this is the fourth such trip in recent weeks as time is running out before the summer recess.

Tomorrow in @UKparliament there will be a half-day Opposition day debate on a Motion on Immigration in the name of the Scottish National Party. It will cover a wide range of topics related to the UK’s immigration and asylum system, including the ‘hostile environment’.
It is with great sadness that @BritsLux has learned of the passing away this morning of Grand Duke Jean.
We send our condolences to the Grand-Ducal family and to the people of #Luxembourg.
The state funeral will take place on 4th May at 11am in the Cathedral in the city.
