Freedom of movement by European Union nationals into the UK will be end overnight from October 31 in the event of a no deal Brexit, Priti Patel has signalled.

Theresa May's government had wanted to crack down on freedom of movement as soon as possible after the UK left once new legislation had passed through Parliament.

Maybe afterward ya'll can use the tunnel as a waste storage site?

Please get the Romanians out asap! The women are pretty but the people are dusty AF! I've seen them catching pigeons in the park for din-dins!

Lovely jubberly.

And what happens with Northern Ireland.

And how do you prove you were here before this deadline? Action not words

Is this lady patel4witham really being serious!!! Her vision and plans are highly toxic. I'm amazed after multiple failures, she's stil in the seat of power. Is Britain (Not UK) headed to become a thirdworldcountry of the 21st century?

What if they just walk over the border in The North if Ireland? With 11 weeks to go in order to make this policy sustainable they, again, need a solution to the border issue.

They’re closing the windows and locking all the doors locking us in and supplies out.

😁👍🏻

Tell her to back off the European Union will nail her for violation of people's rights

And when the 1.6 million people in the EU are forced to return? And I’m assuming they haven’t sorted Ireland seeing as they have been highly incompetent thus far.

And yet there will be no hard border on the Island of Ireland?

And this achieves what exactly patel4witham...? Also I assume the Home Office is ready to repatriate 1.2 million Brits on November 1st then?

So what does that mean for people that comes from the EU and has lived more than 6 months here? Will they have to leave immediately as well?!! Or how does this works? I don’t understand this at all!

Rather “ban” that evil kunt

It's just posturing to BXP voters. Except GE before Halloween.

Absolute disgrace.

StopNoDealBrexit No Parliament can bind the hands of its successor, therefore this Parliament can, in effect, do as it believes appropriate, given the circumstances, and prevent a ‘YELLOWHAMMER’ no deal Brexit. Join the movement:

It’s a two way street so would affect UK citizens as well

Halloween moving closer :/

Honestly fuck everything to do with this government

What's sauce for the goose ...

And our freedom of movement benifits will be rinsed from us also

priti4witham expects 3 million UK citizens to return to the UK by end October

Consider how this affects Gibraltar when Spain reciprocates.

All of our Free Movement will also end on the 31st too*

What an uttely shameful disgrace

Does that mean UK citizens also lose their freedom of movement.

All the Brits living in Spain are in for a very big surprise 😳

As it should be!

So will freedom of movement OUT of the UK into what will then be Europe. STOPNODEAL

Hooray - from the 31st October us Brits will no longer be able to freely move to the EU. Instead we can stay in good old Blighty and eat proper food like fish and chips, jellied eels and pickled eggs. What's next: how about we re-build Hadrian's Wall BuildTheWall

Good

Our FoM out of the UK is banned too.

Well, utterly bonkers what do you know and that would cut both ways.

I expect the British immigrants living abroad are cheering this decision!

Loss of FoM is a terrible thing.

That’s going to play well with UK nationals seeking to travel, live and work in the EU..... or do we expect for things to continue as usual the other way around?

Daughter of immigrants bans immigrants from entering UK. You just can't make that up.

Government website says there is a period until 2020. How can it be fair to change this 8 weeks before the deadline? Disgraceful. These are lives and livelihoods.

Good luck with that

Tourism's gone down and many EU nationals have already fled the country. Hoards of Brits have applied for a EU country's nationality (especially Irish). Do you really think that people are going to flock to the UK from October 31? If anything, people are wondering how to get out.

Yeah ‘grace’, especially the good variety, isn’t something I associate with patel4witham

We’ve literally lost the plot, nobody wanted to go back to the 1960s. European integration has been enabled so many businesses and talent to grow. Critical cash flow for businesses. If a no deal is forced through it’ll be one of the biggest economic mismanagement in history.

And when is Kristallnacht scheduled for?

What does that actually mean. Is the country closed to everyone,no entries? That would be how I read that. Or are some people allowed in,and out. I find it puzzlingly insane on any level. Are we really becoming the North Korea of Europe?

What time's curfew? I don't want to be out as the UK burns to the ground.

So what happens when EU turfs all 240 000 British pensioners back to the UK, on failing NHS and pension systems? Is this why they are building lorry blockades in Dover? On a serious note, this works both ways, you dimwit.

Travel did exist prior to us joining the EU - why is everyone panicking ?

Amazing that those of an immigrant background, seem to be the most rabid 'border closers' denying others the opportunities which their families enjoyed.

Any freedom of movement from UK to EU will banned at the same period....

What I see when you say Priti Patel

This is what we have become.

Of course she is lying.

fake promises made by a fake PM! RecallNow RevokeA50 VONC GE19

Not this Priti Patel surely? NeverTrustATory

Digusting woman.

Brilliant. About time too

so no grace period no transition for the british either.. did the leave voters vote for that I think not.... you lied to the electorate, you are slowly showing your true colours & the british people will turn on you all

Or more accurately.... EU citizens will lose their freedom of movement rights to 1 country. UK nationals will lose their freedom of movement rights to 30 countries. Moronic stupidity

Yes yes yes!!!!

Forgetting that if there was no freedom of movement Her family would never of reached British shores! Or is she just planning on stopping European freedom of movement?

This Brexit is such a mistake. A big one

You do understand that this will also apply to UKcitz in EU27, right? 🤦‍♀️

There was s something in that face that only a horse fly could love.

She really is relishing her chance to be warder of HMP United Kingdom. revokeA50

Well Brits in the EU are fucked then

Does your esteemed paper agree with Ms Patel's new policy?

Such a sad day for our country when a freedom is ‘banned’. Wonder what freedoms and rights Conservatives start to ban after Brexit. This is just the beginning.

So this will include passport checks at the Irish border, yeah?

The buccaneering Sir Ivan Rogers had foreseen is now in full force.

You do realise that this goes both ways. Why don't you mention FOM for everyone in the UK wanting to go to Europe?

I hope you made it clear to your readers that to achieve this stupid and evil act, pensions will in effect be cancelled as without immigration we'll not be able to afford retired people.

Always trying to reach out to the far-right to prove herself without thinking about the consequences of her statements to 60M Uk Citizens - I suppose size does matter in male dominated cabinet.

An excellent decision by Priti Patel. I was so unhappy with the continuation of FoM till the end of 2020. It must stop in November 2019. Thanks to team Brexit my wish is granted.

Happy Halloween. Odds of recession stacking up with morons on both sides of the pond.

2016: Sunlit uplands, easiest deal in history and billions extra for the NHS. 2019: There will be shortages of fuel, food and medicine and millions of people will lose freedom of movement. brexit is insane

That will please many

roryflowers How will that work in Northern Ireland then?

Well done patel4witham, You have just won a lot of the xenophobic vote back from the Brexit Party. Not sure whether this has been thought through but it shows the bloody forriners how despised they by this regime

Christmas and turkeys come to mind

They do realize how reciprocal this will be right?

PaulSandars And out of the UK. No more freedom of movement from UK to EU for UK citizens.

So, UK citizens will also be 'banned' as their freedom of movement will be taken away. Maybe frame it like that. In terms of what we're losing. Because we are...

She’s a look of Eva Braun

Good it was a stupid ideological idea by Merkel that failed miserably

66million people lose a freedom to live, love and work in 27 of our friendly, neighbouring countries. Citizens of our neighbouring countries lose the freedom to live, love and work here. A tragedy for all concerned.

birdonthewire3 Tories dictatorship wrecking the country with Brexit fiasco British public will not tolerate

And Brits will lose FOM in respect of the 27 remaining EU countries, including Spain.

This vile woman, the daughter of immigrants.......

Work both ways

i luv that woman ,god bless , now lets sort are county out and kick out the criminal eastern block gangs, like the scumbags who live on my st

This would be good for Boston mattwarman let’s hope you back no deal.

It's popcorn time folks. Time to sit back, open a good wine and watch the Brexit mess unfold as we approach 31/10. I've got my told-ya-so's lined up, got my comfy chair positioned, and ready to watch Brexiter scramble to justify the mess they've made.

nor should there be

Of course ! No deal means ‘no deal’ all good. It’ll instantly relieve the NHS, Instantly reduce crime & ease housing waiting lists. No deal means no deal.

Let's get on with it 👍

The stink of 'Children of Men' off the neighbours is really fouling up Western Europe... Thank god for those mild Gulf Stream breezes... shakenvac

Celia3D If EU27 reciprocates, UK citizens' FoM out of the UK will also be 'banned'. EU27 Doctors and nurses will be unable to return to their NHS jobs after the half-term holiday and UK citizens will be unable to return to their homes/jobs on the continent. Whose foot are we shooting?

Are you trying to suggest that's a positive step? Utter madness. UK fast becoming a far right dictator state.

good

Тук, тук, тук! Это кто к нам в двери стучится? Это мама пришла, молока вам принесла. Нет, не обманешь нас серый волк. Не откроем тебе дверь. Пошёл от наших дверей прочь.

Long due

Just loving the irony - how to take back control for saddos

she's such a good role model for.immigr.....

About time. Have we left yet? BringOnTheBrexit

Love her strong stance ! It's what all leavers wanted !

Shld this read freedom of movement into & out of the UK?

Business will shrink. Except for fake tans, as Spain and Portugal will be further than before.

Less UK citizens in the EU so.
