EU citizens will have MORE rights than Britons in UK under bizarre TWO-TIER law plan

In a complete U-turn, Brexit Secretary David Davis
admitted EU citizens living in Britain will be able to
appeal to UK courts using European law, which will
override British law.
During his closing remarks at the fourth round of
negotiations in Brussels, Mr Davis said: "The United
Kingdom has committed to incorporating the final
withdrawal agreement fully into UK law.
He confessed the law would have a "direct effect"
when it came to defending the rights of 3.5 million EU
citizens in Britain.
The Brexit Secretary added: "We also recognise the
need to ensure the consistent interpretation of EU law
concepts."

European Union chief negotiator Michel Barnier
welcomed a confirmation from Mr Davis that the
withdrawal treaty guaranteeing the rights of three
million EU citizens in Britain should have "direct effect"
in British law - effectively, Britain cannot change them
via new legislation.
The EU continues to demand that people also have the
right to pursue grievances at the EU's own court.
Previously Mr Davis had said it would be inappropriate
to guarantee the future rights of EU citizens legally.
The Government also confessed UK courts would be
able to take account of rulings from the European
Court of Justice when interpreting any such new law.
Jacob Rees-Mogg lashed out at the new findings
Mr Davis denied the new plans would "not look
anything" like the current European Communities Act
1972 as he faced a backlash in London.
Brexiteer MP Jacob Rees-Mogg lashed out at the new
findings comparing EU citizens in the UK to "colonial
occupiers".
He said: "You could not have a situation here where an
EU citizen living in the UK had more rights than a
British citizen. That would give them the status of
colonial occupiers."
Nicholas Hatton, the co-chairman of "the 3 million", a
group for EU citizens said: "This direct effect is really
welcome. I think it is really positive because it will
mean if there is any attempt to change our rights by a
future government, or the Home Office, we will be able
to challenge in the UK courts."
Michel Barnier welcomed Britain's assurance that it
would adopt 'EU law concepts'
It comes after barrister Martin Howe QC said a new
court would have to be set up to help free the UK
legal system from the European Court of Justice
(ECJ).
He said by creating a new court, the Government
would be taking a "symbolic step to making Britain's
legal system supreme again."
Mr Howe added the court would "give our judges the
necessary tools to uphold and interpret the law whilst
being in a relationship of cooperation as equals with
the ECJ."
Mr Barnier welcomed Britain's assurance that it would
adopt "EU law concepts" but said it did not go far
enough and branded the ECJ issue a "stumbling
block."
