Dear @AmberRuddHR , thanks for your letter.
1: Your government called us @the3million#BargainingChips
2: The EU imposed our status and that of @BritishInEurope to be addressed in phase 1
3: You are still removing rights from us
4: Forefront of your thoughts? Absolute lies.
5: Anxious wait, your doing. You could have given us a proper status from Brexit day 1.
6: Oh come on. You threatened companies with too many migrants to be named and shamed. Your colleague @theresa_may called internationalists "citizens of nowhere". @Jeremy_Hunt said that within a few years, foreign docs no longer needed. (all #cpc16)
7: IT government projects. I am filled with dread.
8: For an EU family with children, this may represent quite a high cost
You wish us a Happy Christmas? I do hope it will happy but no thanks to you or Brexit.

Now is the time for clarity from Her Majesty Government about us, EU citizens in the UK.
Clarity and honesty.
Dear @theresa_may, you constantly claim you love us and that our status is secure. 2 claims not borne out by facts,
You are renowned for your "go home vans", your "climate of hostility" against foreigners you believe are here illegally.
You claim you love us but as my local MP, your chief whip told me, "no way to stay in Single Market" because of migrants.
You proposed in your negotiations with the EU status after status. Sure, your proposals have improved but there is still much uncertainty as to who exactly will have the right to stay in the UK. Your definition of "legally" can mean many different things.
A few disappointments with my @ToyotaGB Prius 4th gen,
- fuel usage as shown by dashboard is always circa 10% better than actual fuel usage. Dash showed 67 mpg since last fill up, in fact it was 60 mpg.
(A Citroen I had before was sometimes up, sometimes down on actual mpg)
- tank supposed to be 45 litres. even when dash saying "you are on fumes", only ever managed to put in under 40 litres. Does it mean there is a 5 litre reserve or does it mean tank is really 40 litres? (Same applied to 3rd gen Prius)
- satnav sometimes has difficulties communicating with internet traffic
- satnav also, from time to time (20%?), decides to put itself into metric mode and only stopping the engine then restarting allows it to return to British units
Do you know what's bad?
Brexiters treating @The3Million like dirt.
Do you know what's worse?
Brexiters pretending there's no abuse, that all stories are made up.
Do you know what's even worse?
Brexiters saying we brought the abuse to ourselves because we didn't take nationality.
And what's even worse? Said Brexiters saying that members of @the3million who leave the UK because they are at the end of their tether, sometimes even splitting their family as a result, are acting selfishly, against all evidence, believing their own lies.
