@andrewhesselden Joys of social media. Always someone who wants to misinterpret, play the victim, take a contrary view etc. Keep up the great work Andrew

Reversing #Brexit will take as long as you want it to.

Seriously: enough of this nonsense about how it will take 15-20 years or how the EU won’t accept the UK.

Let’s start by restoring FOM of people and trying to join the Single Market again. We’ve not got a moment to lose.

[mike kingswood @mkmk1]

@andrewhesselden Yep

Thankfully even the Telegraph is raising the alarm over the excessive level of border controls that Brexit now means British and European people are subject to.

THREAD 1. I'm constantly frustrated by the inability of politicians across Europe (especially in the UK) to agree and broker an adequate outcome to Brexit for the Citizens of Europe (including British people) #SaveFOM

[Save Freedom of Movement 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 @SaveFOM]

Under pretence of “controlling borders” UK has changed nothing and gives European visitors to UK 6 months of visa-free access.

Meanwhile UK Ministers are deaf to the urgent travel needs of British people with homes in Europe or who travel frequently. @FCDOGovUK @EU_Commission

Don’t let anyone tell you that “British people voted for this (mess)”. The mess is entirely of the government’s making by promising they could deliver what they have not succeeded (yet) in negotiating.

[Save Freedom of Movement 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 @SaveFOM]

Is this kind of level of border control absolutely necessary UK Gov? Portugal? EU Commission? This can’t be good for anyone since Brexit. What does it achieve?

[Nick Hoare @UKdemocrat]

Suella Braverman says the backlog of people crossing the channel is not a consequence of Brexit. We left the EU and every passport now needs a check and that is what causes the delay. It did not have to be done when we were in the EU. She says those waiting should be patient whilst the Ferry Companies work through the backlog? They don't check passports? A minister of state very intellectually challenged!

Many non EU countries (eg USA, NZ, Japan, Canada) have bilateral agreements with Schengen countries that improve mobility for people who want to visit different Schengen countries consecutively. https://t.co/Wl1PxNT3QJ

[Save Freedom of Movement 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 @SaveFOM]

The #Brexit deal the UK government negotiated is so bad for British travellers that even New Zealanders have better access to Schengen zone countries, thanks to an array of bilateral deals. And it not just New Zealanders that have this. https://t.co/rW9AmfAtIa

@trussliz Deliver a solution to the 90 day in 180 inequality versus the EU.

[mike kingswood @mkmk1]

@QcatM @SaveFOM @Jacob_Rees_Mogg UK Government needs to take action instead of simply repeating platitudes

[mike kingswood @mkmk1]

@isobel_dougan @SaveFOM @grantshapps It is not fair. It was never discussed or highlighted pre Brexit

[mike kingswood @mkmk1]

@SaveFOM Absolutely

[mike kingswood @mkmk1]

@jmalbares @DominicRaab Good news. I hope you managed to get the 90 days in 180 situation for UK nationals visiting Spain into the conversation. The UK welcomes Spanish visitors without such limitation and this is doing neither economy any service.

@morrowcatherine @Iromg You can see them and talk to them from 2m but outside. Better than nothing
