Imagine a Europe where someone in Madrid, Berlin or Helsinki can once again choose to build a life in Manchester, Cardiff or Edinburgh — and British people have the same freedom across Europe. That’s what we’re fighting for. Follow @savefom.bsky.social.

Brexit didn’t just end freedom of movement for British citizens. It also ended the automatic freedom of EU, EEA and Swiss citizens to come to the UK to live, work and study. @savefom.bsky.social wants to restore those freedoms for everyone. Follow and support us.

Save Freedom of Movement @savefom.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

To our friends across the EU, EEA and Switzerland: restoring freedom of movement isn’t only a British issue. We want Europeans to regain the freedom to live, work and study in the UK too. Follow @savefom.bsky.social and help us make the case for mutual freedom of movement.

Freedom of movement was mutual. EU, EEA and Swiss citizens had the freedom to live, work and study in the UK, just as British citizens did across Europe. We want those opportunities back — in both directions. Follow @savefom.bsky.social and support our work.

If you’re an EU, EEA or Swiss citizen who believes Europeans and British people should once again have the freedom to live, work, study and build lives in each other’s countries, follow @savefom.bsky.social. We’re campaigning to restore mutual freedom of movement.

Who's ridiculous idea is this? Freedom of Movement is a good thing in its own right. EU laws? Why not? Just join the Single Market, if they will let us.

Any politician who doesn't think freedom of movement is worth fighting for ought to be given a job that involves crossing the Schengen border with a UK passport every day and see how it fucking feels. The ninety-first day would be particularly interesting.

"Non-EU member states which adhere to EU rules on freedom of movement also enjoy the same mutual recognition of professional qualifications. The same mutual recognition was rejected for the UK during the Brexit negotiations because the UK did not want to be in the EU single market."

Agreement on Mutual Recognition of Professional Qualifications (MRPQs) - UK in a changing Europe

Labour’s election manifesto promised a ‘mutual recognition agreement for professional qualifications’. What does this mean, and what affect might it have on UK-EU trade?

regarding employment, pay, and social benefits. But no one ever considers the fact that we actually already have Freedom of Movement within the UK! All we're doing by not being part of the EU is denying ourselves, our families, our friends the opportunities that Freedom of Movement presents!

Freedom of Movement allows EU citizens and their family members to live, work, study, and travel across any EU member state, plus Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland, without needing a visa or work permit. It guarantees equal treatment to local citizens

What we already have versus what we're scared of: Freedom of Movement allows UK citizens and their family members to live, work, study, and travel across the UK without restriction! It guarantees equal treatment whether you're English, Scots, Welsh or Irish wherever you are!

That Brexit was an unmistakably wrong idea isn't at cause, freedom of movement protects you from the whims of anti-immigration policies. Sweden has agency, if they choose to revoke residence permits to people in those situations, it's the Swedish government that is to be criticised.

Unless these people have committed serious crimes (which would have been an acceptable reason to revoke their freedom of movement as stated in Art. 45.3 of TFEU) it's difficult to see the Swedish authorities doing this for reasons other than bringing the immigration numbers down.

Someone in Labour needs to be clear. Freedom of movement was always a good thing. The objections to it were always both false and xenophobic.

Focusing the criticism on Brexit for the loss of freedom of movement for British citizens across the EU falls short of the full picture - Sweden has been following an anti-immigration path that leads to situations both absurd & tragic.

I think it’s time to be a lot more direct and blunt about the 90-in-180-day problem and the problems post Brexit with EES and people mobility in Europe. It really is time for change, and I’m so pleased that the British parliament is starting to look at this now. We are starting to be heard ♥️ 🇬🇧 🇪🇺

People should complain about the 90-in-180-day problem. As loudly as possible! 💥 📣 This is how we make the case for better people mobility. Without people getting enthusiastic about international mobility again, it will not be possible to rejoin the single Market or EU. It’s a vital part of it.
