After nearly two years of uncertainty, the December agreement between the EU and the UK does not safeguard our rights as the British government misleadingly claims. It leaves UKinEU citizens landlocked in one country with no
freedom of movement throughout the EU27. Our economic rights are
severely curtailed and we are deprived of all of our political rights.
This
is simply unacceptable. We must make MPs aware of the plight of the
forgotten 1.2 million Britons in the EU before it is too late.
What can you do?
1. Write to the MP in the constituency where you last lived:

Writing to MPs is an extremely valuable activity even if you have been out of the country for more than fifteen years.
2. Convince at least one friend or family member in the UK to help us.
Ask
them to write to their MP (even better if not the same one as yours) or
visit their constituency surgery. Remember that on 3 May there will be
local elections in the UK and MPs will be worried about losing
councillors. We will produce a template letter.
