1/ UK is going to guarantee #citizensrights of EU citizens in the UK without the EU, one sided - unilaterally - in case of no deal Brexit leaked papers show. Claiming the moral high ground over the EU.
Yet again, too late, too little. itv.com/news/2018-08-1…
2/ The time for unilateral guarantees and claiming the moral high ground passed a long time ago though. Together with the @BritishInEurope we pleaded with the UK Govt to take that moral high ground for months after the referendum. It fell on deaf ears.

3/ instead UK Govt reduced EU citizens in the UK & the @BritishInEurope down to Brexit negotiation capital. Made us a #BargainingChip. Unilateral guarantee would have been the right until triggering Article 50. It would have created much needed goodwill.

1/ The EU have published their general preparedness note for no deal #Brexit. And it looks very bleak on the #citizensrights for the 3.6m EU citizens in the UK and 1.2m @BritishInEurope.

2/in case of no deal EU confirms that what has been agreed so far on #citizensrights in the Withdrawal Agreement will be null and void. No ifs, no buts. We'd move from #BargainingChip to collateral damage.
3/ EU is urging citizens to be prepared for no deal Brexit by March 2019. It also tasks embassies & consulates to inform their citizens. Concerned? We are. Maybe a good time to get into contact with your embassy to find out more. /end
