In an interview with The Telegraph, on the fifth anniversary of the Brexit vote, Priti Patel said UK citizens in EU countries were having a life made difficult after Brexit. The Home Secretary urged the EU to treat UK citizens 'fairly' as 'UK has for EU'. Ms Patel said: 'We are aware that some UK nationals in the EU have faced disruption onboarding and entry to the EU...
'...And there have been a number of reported instances of UK nationals in the EU being asked for residence documents they do not need to hold, being prevented from accessing benefits and services and having trouble with their right to work. 'It is only right that the EU uphold their obligations on citizens' rights, just as the UK has done for EU citizens in the UK.'
