Boris Johnson’s new Immigration Bill states that Irish Citizens, who currently have the right to live and work in the UK, will “generally” not require further leave to remain here after Brexit.
The addition of the word “generally” completely changes the terms of the British Nationality Act 1981 and is in direct contravention of the Good Friday Agreement.
On one hand Johnson is saying to Taoiseach Varadkar, “we are on the same path” and on the other removes Irish Citizens rights under International Treaty.
There will be no Brexit Agreement after this!…
