Save Freedom of Movement

Brexit the Elephant decided to stand on the despatch box to see if Rachel Reeves would notice him as she read out her budget.

“I reckon she knows I’m here”.

“But they’re still pretending I’m not, though”, he lamented.

Just an aside, and I know you're pro uk citizens having EU citizenship,
Too many people, #starmer included, mistake "Freedom of Movement" (within the EU) with immigration.
They are absolutely not the same.
The EU has rules for #FoM and uk never applied them!

Yeah.

Freedom of Movement is mutual mobility within a finite area for a finite number of people. I don’t really think of that as immigration at all. I doubt many leave voters do either.

It’s just redefining what home means.

84% of Brits support mutual Freedom of Movement anyway.

Delighted to report that our motion

“A Bolder Campaign for People Mobility of All Ages” was passed (in amended form) at Saturday’s AGM of the European Movement

A simple rule of thumb: Any politician who proclaims to be pro-EU while avoiding supporting re-entry to the Single Market is afraid of mentioning Freedom of Movement. Many have been playing that game for 10 years, and pro-EU voters are wise to it. Anything without Freedom of Movement is still Brexit

When I talk about the 90-in-180-day problem, I never mean the 90 days.

I mean the…

1. Shared 29 country allowance
2. The 180 day control period

Both are problems UK gov needs to solve for people and businesses.

Did you know that citizens of certain non EU countries are not affected by the 90-in-180-day problem because of special historic visa waivers their governments agreed with certain Schengen countries?

I’m standing for election to the European Movement UK Council because I want to make a difference to our future in Europe.

If you’re already a member and can vote, I’d very much welcome your 1st choice vote for one of the places.

Thank you 🙏

Correct. They can stay for up to 6 months each time they visit.

Did you know that after 90 days visiting Italy, Germany, and Switzerland, a New Zealander can still enter Spain?

But a Brit cannot. How crazy is that?

That’s because of historic bilateral agreements.

Did you know that after 90 days visiting Italy, Germany, and Switzerland, a Canadian 🇨🇦 can still enter Spain 🇪🇸 ?

But a Brit cannot. How crazy is that?

That’s because of historic bilateral agreements.

True or false?

“After Brexit, EU27 citizens are only allowed to spend up to 90 days in a 180 day period visiting the UK.”

❓

Our campaign asks for

1. Protection under withdrawal agreement (or similar) for everyone living lawfully in Spain part-year before Brexit.

2. UK passport holders to be admitted visa free for up to six months every time they visit Spain irrespective of time in other countries.

It always makes me laugh how some people on here think UK is supposed to sit on the naughty step of the EU for the next few decades.

Ending EU free movement a ‘disaster’ for Britain, says Green Party’s Zack Polanski The party’s new leader calls for the migration pact to be reinstated as he sets out his stall on Brexit.

Delighted to see @zackpolanski.bsky.social agrees with me and @savefom.bsky.social that restoring mutual Freedom of Movement of people should be a priority and a first stage in rebuilding relations with the EU.

Just fantastic. ♥️

10 years post-EU referendum and 5 since leaving EU & Single Market, we still have people saying:

"We used to be able to do that, and we should still be able to".

I think that’s wonderful. 👏 ♥️ 🇪🇺

Brexit changed things. But we haven’t forgotten 🇬🇧.

#RejoinEU is possible.

Brits face being banned from using second homes in Spain Brits could face being banned from using second homes in Spain following implementation of the new EES travel rules.

Introduction of EES would have been a good opportunity to explain the impact of the 90-in-180-day problem on people such as part-year residents.

But instead Daily Mail runs story suggesting that those with homes abroad are overstaying.

Irritating much?
