EU’ll be front of the queue to work here

Davis jobs offer for EU citizens

MILLIONS of EU migrants could enjoy preferenti­al rights to come to Britain after Brexit.

Brexit Secretary David Davis says EU nationals could stay front of the queue to live and work in Britain after 2020.

Tory Brexiteers famously boasted the Leave vote would “take back control” of borders.

But at a Q&A, Mr Davis would not rule out giving EU citizens “preferenti­al treatment” over arrivals from the rest of the world.

He added: “The aim of the exercise is to run our immigratio­n policy in the economic interests of the nation. So we aren’t going to switch off all the scientists, or the engineers, or for that matter even the farm workers necessaril­y.” Meanwhile, rows over a second EU poll rumbled on. Nigel Farage warned last night it would unleash “total chaos”. But Tony Blair insisted it was “more likely” now Brexit could be stopped. And Theresa May twice ducked questions of whether Brexit will be “worth it”. She insisted she is “looking forward” to Brexit day “because it presents great opportunit­ies”.
