The Britons getting out before Brexit ‘drawbridge’ goes up

UK nationals rush to settle in Spain before they lose their rights as EU citizens on 31 December

Campaigners for the rights of British nationals in Spain have reported a rise in the number of inquiries from people rushing through plans to establish residency in the country before the Brexit "drawbridge goes up".

Sue Wilson, the founder of campaign group Bremain in Spain, says now that Brexit is "concrete and is happening" they are seeing evidence of Britons "expediting their plans" for retirement or a career move to Spain.
