Is this the final betrayal of EU citizens?

Copy of letter published in The Guardian 21/08/2019

Dear Sir,
Your correspondent Rowena Mason says in her front page article (Guardian 19th August) that Priti Patel "wants free movement to end on the dot of 31 October."
What form will this take? How will overworked border staff distinguish between resident EU citizens eligible for settled status but not yet registered and other EU citizens? Let us remember that EU citizens have until December 31st 2020 to register and so far less than a third have done so. According to the Federation of Poles, in their letter to Boris Johnson, barely 17% of resident Poles, the largest single EU national group in this country, has registered. This is simultaneously an administrative disaster for border staff and passengers, and potentially a gross betrayal of promises to Polish and other EU residents from Boris Johnson that their pre-Brexit status will be respected.
Yours faithfully
Wiktor Moszczynski
Trustee

Suemas Milne versus Dominic Cummings

There is only one person who could be the backroom architect of a temporary caretaker government to challenge the current no deal Brexit juggernaut. That one person is Suemas Milne, the ex Communist strategic guru. He alone could convince Jeremy Corbyn to allow the formation of a temporary cross-party coalition to replace the current no deal with either a vote of no confidence followed by an extension of the Brexit date and a call for a general election, or else a vote in support of a negotiated exit based on a customs union solution. The latter was the nearest option to command a majority in the House when moved by Kenneth Clarke in March and could still get the most support.
Arch Remainers like the Tory rebels, Lib Dems and the SNP could be kept on side in that coalition by being offered cabinet appointments and a free vote on a second referendum.
Milne should be just as ruthless and single minded as his opposite number in the Tory government, Dominic Cummings. If Milne declines this role for ideological reasons then there will be no soft Brexit coalition at all, no successful vote of no confidence and we will have the horror of a no deal Brexit on October 31st
