We just need to change the tax credit form, those brits with kids living in Spain or France etc will have to claim for them in the country the kids are in.Comment

He hasn't really got a deal has he?
It's a bit like having a substitution clause in a contract.
Almost impossible to implement.
Plus what about out of work benefits? That must cost us more.
Smoke and mirrors from a man who couldn't get a deal at the DFS sale.

I don't really see why Europe should have a say in the UK benefits system.
In fact if it was used correctly you could incentives the right people at the right time to aid the country.Comment

In countries with a contributory or length residency qualification this isn't a problem.
However the lying governments of the UK, past and present, refuse to put residency length requirements in the various benefits legislation as they think there will be a backlash.
So it's not the EU telling us what to do it's the politicians who govern us being too thick to think of residency rules that would allow 95% of British citizens qualify but 95% of new EU arrivals not to."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

For those EU people working as an 'autonomo' (us contractors [for sake of argument I'll pretend I still am one]) in Spain over the past years the deal was not good. Pay full whack income tax & social security benefits for several years and receive your unemployment benefits of €0.
Recently to appease the EU for additional contributions of 14€ the autonomo can claim around 589€ for a limited time, between 2 and 12 months depending on how long the additional contributions have been made. But you cannot claim if you end your business "voluntarily"; the system is new so it is uncertain how voluntary will be defined in this context. Lose your only client? Look for another one.
Then watch your health cover disappear within 6 months.Comment
