We are still suffering from poor decisions made by Teresa May, four Tory Prime Ministers ago.Instead of using EU citizens that had settled here over decades as pawns - a simpler & quicker solution could have been implemented or at least guarantees straight after the vote.The thought of losing your job and your home due to uncertainty of your settlement status and having to wait years must surely have been one of the most cruel acts of government in recent times. Seconded only by the oppositions lack of interest in putting the workers needs first!
