In light of some recent conversations with fellow Remainers & today's #1DayWithoutUs, I want to address this question: why focus on the plight of @The3Million & @BritishInEurope , the ppl @InLimboBrexit . Huge thank you to @Dogtrouser_PI for the fabulous graphic, again! 1/6

1 of the most blatant lies of the Leave campaign was that nothing would change for these ppl. Ever since the ref. they have been used as bargaining chips. Those in the UK have faced abuse & discrimination - apparently state-sanctioned. #1DayWithoutUs 2/6

Rights are being removed retroactively from the most vulnerable directly impacted group - the one with NO vote, NO voice, NO representation. YOU are their voice - the voice for your doctor, nurse, teacher, carer, cleaner etc etc #1DayWithoutUs 3/6

Obvs 5+mil is a very small proportion of the population, so why's it so important? Well, 1st the best indicator of future behaviour is past behaviour. If we don't stop this mistreatment of a vulnerable minority, it'll be your rights, your family, your life next #1DayWithoutUs 4/6

This group is the clearest manifestation of the human impact of brexit. This isn't a forecast, it's happening now - to ppl who've spent yrs contributing economically & socially to the UK. A healthy society protects the vulnerable. I fear for the UK if we don't #1DayWithoutUs 5/6

I'm a migrant, an immigrant in the EU. Unlike EU27 citizens in the UK, while I live in limbo & face a devastating impact on my life, I'm lucky not to face the same xenophobia & abuse that they do. Today & every day I stand with them #1DayWithoutUs #FBPE @FinalSayForAll 6/6
