If you’re a Brit in Europe, or a European citizen living in the
UK, the issue of Brexit will be high on your radar. At the time of
recording this, there are just six months to go until the UK leaves
the European Union, and there’s still no deal.
European leaders at a summit in Salzburg just shot down the UK
Prime Minister’s latest plan, so everyone’s gone back to the
drawing board. There have been ‘no deal’ planning papers released,
and right now, that prospect is looking like a scary reality.
So where does Brexit leave citizens’ rights, on both sides of the
Channel? And what can expats in the UK and Europe be doing now, to
best prepare?
Today’s guest is Daniel Tetlow, Co-founder of the organisation
British in Germany,
and a member of British
in Europe. And - spoiler alert - he doesn’t have definitive
answers, no one does right now, but he does explain why he and
others are working so hard to get them. You’re going to hear Daniel
mention the name ‘Michel Barnier' a few times in this interview -
he’s the EU’s Chief Brexit negotiator. And you’ll find all the
useful links that Daniel mentions, listed in our show notes.
