    May axes Brexit...

    ... fees

    Theresa May has scrapped the £65 fee millions of EU citizens were going to have to pay to secure the right to continue living in the UK after Brexit.

    She also vowed to seek changes to the Irish backstop from the EU.

    But she again rejected calls to rule out a "no deal" Brexit - and warned another EU referendum could threaten the UK's "social cohesion".

    Conservative rebels and Labour accused her of being in denial about the scale of opposition to her Brexit deal.

      Best part is this -

      “Mrs May said anyone "who has, or will, apply during the pilot phase" will have their fee reimbursed, with further detail to be announced shortly.”

      Sompeople will still have to pay and then pray for refund, and this generosity is only for the pilot phase, which by definition will be small fraction of the total.



      65 quid was reasonable money, what won’t be paperwork reequirements that will make Windrush scandal seem like walk in the park - this time the other side got very big boot though
