MEPs urge EU leaders to protect rights of Britons living in Europe
A no-deal Brexit could put at risk up to 1 million UK citizens settled in other member states
British MEPs have called on EU leaders to urgently put in place a set of “continuity rights” for British nationals who may find themselves legally stranded on the continent in the event of no-deal Brexit.
They say the contingency plans that are under way are not enough and will risk the rights of up to 1 million Britons settled in EU member states.
The MEPs want them to have rights including ongoing inflation-linked pensions and healthcare rights, and residency and employment rights, such as so-called frontier worker rights that would allow British nationals living in one country to take a job or offer a service in another member state after Brexit.

A large number of MEPs are UKIP. Perhaps they could have thought of this first.... :oki:
