“Walls are hot right now, but I was into them long before [Donald] Trump made it cool,” said Banksy in a statement.

He's a card.

The government has been accused of misleading parliament over efforts to protect the rights of British nationals already settled in Europe after Brexit.

A coalition of 12 groups representing 32,000 Britons living across Europe said the government had not been in touch with any of them – despite claims officials had engaged with expatriate groups on the issue.

This question of EU citizens is going to be a nightmare to sort out......far more difficult than is thought

We will have to introduce a 'permit' system pretty damn quick with all the infrastructure to cope with the numbers who want to stay

Also we are going to find out how little power the EU has because the treatment of UK citizens abroad post-Brexit will be a national Government decision - there will be no 'EU position' unless we have unanimity across all countries (unlikely?)

The best thing the UK could do is make the unilateral decision to allow EU citizens to stay and that would encourage reciprocal action....we do not want to make this part of a negotiation as it won't move anywhere until there is clarity about the rest of the deal (in my view)
