Closed 29 signatures

What the petition asks

The government has declared that freedom of movement will immediately end on 1 November if a Brexit deal with the EU is not agreed by 31 October, while the planned Immigration Bill will override current legal obligations and agreements on EU-derived rights for EU citizens in the UK.
