Prime minister Theresa May has again refused to guarantee the long-term status of EU citizens living in the UK. May attended the G20 summit of world leaders in Hangzhou, her first international summit as prime minister. She reiterated that she would not guarantee the rights of EU citizens until the other 27 EU countries did the same for Britons living abroad. Around 1.2m Britons are estimated to be living across the EU, while more than 3m EU citizens live in the UK. She has also rejected a points-based system for controlling EU migration, one of the key promises of Leave campaigners during the referendum. A new poll shows that a sizeable proportion of EU staff have already quit their jobs, or intend to, because of Brexit uncertainty.
