Thread on solving the 90-in-180 day problem 🧵
The solutions to the 90-in-180 day problem are many and varied. Politicians really have **no** excuse for inaction.
Any of the following provide models for solutions or are solutions in themselves…

I expect @anglo-european.bsky.social would just like the same kind of protection and treatment that you’ve received @ibarrurilives.bsky.social
What about Anglo’s 🇪🇺 dream?

It really winds me up, those of us who had the courage to pursue our 🇪🇺 dream have jumped through more hoops than I can adequately explain. We sold everything, gave up jobs, moved our children, learnt a new language, for the chance of a better life, and these exceptionalists want a golden ticket!!!

Yeah if they want to. I used to screw the bottle tops back on the bottle, personally.

We know that, and? I support PR. But the main political parties are doing f-all abt it, despite Labour members supporting electoral reform at conferences. The leadership is f-ing useless.
Do you realise how you come across, sneering at ppl who want #PR & #Rejoin? Y don't you attack the real enemy?

I don’t think so. When you point this out people feel quite differently about Brexit.

I doubt 17.4 million votes for an unspecified Brexit were ever enough to make a sound government decision to leave the EU.
Perhaps you should spend longer looking at that aspect.

Instead of targeting specific groups, recognise that Brexit has reduced the freedom to travel of all Britons. Negotiate a mobility deal that ends the 90 in 180 days problem for all Britons.

Reform has support but that’s probably more reflective more of a lack of support for the current Labour government which is also anti EU membership than it is an endorsement of anything reform stands for.
So perhaps EU should take comfort from that discontent.
Polling doesn’t translate to seats.

Those are all subjective concepts.
I’d suggest the day UK gov actually asks for either of those things (which, remember, they have ruled out so far), will be the day things have changed for good.
There are no guarantees in life and you’ll find as much surety in Italy/Hungary/Denmark/Sweden etc

Right. If labour government is serious about generating growth, then they can only do so by rejoining the #singlemarket and even the EU, to facilitate our sale of products and services at a profit

No good came from Brexit just as no good will come from breaking up the UK.

Too many people want to chop the UK up into little pieces which will result in further loss of rights of residency and citizenship just like Brexit did.
I don’t object to Northern Ireland choosing to leave UK, so long as every British person retains and is guaranteed full rights of residency and citizenship in Northern Ireland, just as they have today. We cannot have our country chopped up and mistakes of Brexit repeated in terms of lost rights.
