On Monday, a cross-party group of 80 MPs wrote to Donald Tusk, President of the European Council urging him to reach an early agreement about the plight of EU nationals living here and UK nationals living in the EU.
Not surprisingly, he has written back (HERE) saying the uncertainty is not the fault of the EU but the people who voted for brexit. He also says until we leave the EU the rights of all citizens is guaranteed by treaty. I particularly like this from Mr Tusk:
"Would you not agree that the only source of anxiety and uncertainty is rather the decision on Brexit? And that the only way to dispel the fears and doubts of all the citizens concerned is the quickest possible start of the negotiations based on Art. 50 of the Treaty?"
I am not sure why anyone is surprised since this is the position of Mrs Merkel as reported after a meeting with Theresa May on November 18th (HERE).
Tusk knows that once Article 50 is triggered everything is stacked against us. Oh well, prosper like never before!
