"It’s perhaps ironic that it took #Brexit to trigger signs of a kind of bottom-up legitimacy that the #EU has long struggled to generate.”

🇵🇹 "It is also a salutary reminder that entering or leaving a country is not the only place where #borders are present in people’s lives."
In this NEW blog @Michaelacbenson examines the problems being experienced by #British citizens in #Portugal 🔽

I gave an interview this week to the Guardian about the situation in Portugal 👇
For Portugal to state not issuing British immigrants living there with correct residency documentation has no structural implications is utter nonsense.
And dangerous.

What does the settled status application deadline could mean for EU citizens - thread by @ColinYeo1.
@freemovementlaw @gardencourtlaw @neweuropeansUK @rogercasale @julie4north @ruviz @Michaelacbenson @BrExpatsEU @roxanabarbulesc
Insightful, well-informed, and, ultimately, frightening, dispiriting thread by @ColinYeo1 on the future of EU citizens past the settled status application deadline.
This is the 'hostile environment' all over again , with thousands of EU citizens in harm's way.

Our Professor @Michaelacbenson @SociologyLancs was on @BBCRadio4 #WATO earlier today, discussing next week's deadline for British citizens to retain their rights in four EU countries. Listen here from 29 minutes 📻👇
