Are you British and living in the EU, EEA, EFTA since before 31 December 2020? I am still looking for more responses from those: - Aged between 18 and 35 - Black, Asian and mixed-ethnicity Britons If you know anyone who fits the bill, please share: lancasteruni.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Thanks for doing this well needed study and survey. This sort of data is vital to expose the ongoing issues faced by Brits post Brexit in EU/EEA/EFTA and I would encourage as many people as possible to take part.

Here's me for @ukandeu.bsky.social arguing for the need to consider the longer tail of Brexit for British citizens living in the EU, EEA and EFTA member states

We know Starmer's speech was notable, but we know what already happened in the north of England and white areas of the English midlands last year. Burning down asylum seeker accommodation and reminding us all that our citizenship is academic to them. Speeches are academic in this context really

Very useful to get specific detail on the immigration white paper and what it means for immigration and migrants, over the surrounding rhetoric and us citizens centring ourselves 🙏🏾
