Keir
Starmer, Labour’s Shadow Secretary of State for Exiting the EU, responding to the Prime Minister’s announcement on EU
nationals, said:
“Labour
has been clear that people should not be bargaining chips in the Brexit
negotiations. The Prime Minister’s offer is too little too late and falls far
short of the full and unilateral guarantee Labour would make.
“We believe there must be a clear commitment that there will be no change to
the status of EU nationals in the U.K. This is not only the right thing to do,
but it will also help deliver a reciprocal agreement for the 1.2 million U.K.
Nationals living in the EU.”
