Britons living in Europe will be left with fewer rights if free movement disappears, while European passport holders living in the UK will continue to have rights as EU citizens post-Brexit. “I deeply object to the way that the million of us here in the EU27 have been utterly ignored by the British government, along with the 3 million EU27 citizens in the UK. McCaughrean’s situation is emblematic of the plight facing all Britons in Europe, the vast majority of whom are there for work, data shows. EU citizens already in the UK will not be worse off in terms of rights as they will continue to have freedom of movement if they carry EU passports. This is an option for McCaughrean, who worked for 13 years in Germany and is likely to retire there with his German wife.
