Reform UK are going to announce a policy where all EU citizens will be stripped of all benefits and double the NHS surcharge
They will be given 3 months notice. If the EU refuses to accept these terms, there will be a ‘trade retaliation’ with the EU?

More politicians and pundits need to say the Emperor has no clothes. Until governments of whatever stripe admit that Brexit is making us poorer than we would have been and depriving us of sorely needed money for public goods, they’ll remain stuck in denial.
