Mark Leonard (Director of the European Council on Foreign
Relations) notes:
“In just a few
months, May has launched attacks on “international elites” and decided to
prioritize immigration controls over single-market access in negotiating the
UK’s withdrawal from the European Union. At one point recently, companies faced
the threat of being compelled to furnish a list of their foreign workers. And
the 3.5 million European citizens who are settled in the UK were left to worry
about whether May’s government would guarantee their residence rights.”
