My folks have been full-time in Spain for sixteen years and have been residents from almost day one. They have had to update their status post-brexit with a hefty fee attached for each. Just pleased they will still have access to the Spanish healthcare system that has saved their lives. No point them coming back here for sub-standard healthcare and damp days. All the elderly Brits out there that they know have got sorted out. The locals have been helpful thankfully.

From UkGOV

‘If you live in Greece or move there before the end of 2020, your rights to access healthcare in Greece will stay the same from 1 January 2021 for as long as you remain resident.

This means you’ll:

continue to get state healthcare in Greece on the same basis as a Greek resident
still be entitled to a Greek EHIC for travel, including visits to the UK
You may also have the right to apply for a UK S1 if you start drawing a UK State Pension’

That’s correct, but you need to be a resident. Ie. Get residency!

Got that just after we moved here. The local police issue the permits and, tbh, some of them make it as awkward as possible. We caught him on a good day and had no problem.

So according to George Eustice, Environment Minister, talking on the Marr Show this morning, from Jan 1st we can look forward to price rises and food shortages. That'll be those sunlit uplands we heard so much about #ProjectReality

Starting from 54 mins, 15 seconds, if you're interested.

Very downbeat assessment of Brexit trade talks this morning.  It probably has to be No Deal now.  At least that way, there can be no blame shifting from the people who supported this.  Johnson and the Tories, having promised a deal for so long, will now have to own their calamity.  Own the supply shortages, the job losses and the increasingly real existential threat to the integrity of the UK.  There will, finally, be no one else left to blame.  And just maybe, it will mark the moment when the beginning of a movement to repair the damage is born.  No Deal is not an end point.

I know that this is worst case scenario, but this makes terrifying reading and remember that any MP who pushes for no deal is knowingly pushing for this...

I've seen plenty blaming the remainers - the very people who did not want any of this happening at all.
