EU citizens rights only protected when British citizens rights protected.

What the petition asks

The British Government is not to protect EU citizens rights who live in the uk until the EU makes reciprocal arrangements to protect British citizens rights living in the EU.

This is a negotiating position and should not be given away. British citizens to be put first in all negotiations.
The house of Lords and remain voters want to protect EU citizens in the UK before any reciprocal arrangement has been made to protect British citizens living in the EU. This weakens the UK negotiating position and can be used against the British government by the EU. This must be prevented.
