EU nationals with settled status alarmed by Reform UK plan to restrict housing and employment rights
By

Summary
EU nationals with settled status in the UK are alarmed by Reform UK's proposed migration policies, which would evict overseas nationals from social housing and make it more expensive for companies to employ them — including EU nationals who have permanent residency rights under the Brexit deal. Rights groups say the policy reneges on promises made during the 2016 Brexit referendum campaign.
