  • In Limbo is a good series with testimonials from Brits in the EU and EU immigrants here and how Brexit affected them.

    You may like that if you enjoy reading personal stories.

  • As an immigrant who chose to make the UK my home (twice), I was more interested in the stories of people who've made similar decisions. There's a whole lot of negativity on here from people desperate to fuck off to anywhere else (I was one of them). So it's comforting to be reminded that we're still living in a multicultural place that people from all over have chosen to make their home.

  • For what it's worth, my wife (Polish) and I (British) moved back from Poland since Brexit, with all the visa hassle and expense that entailed (long story, mainly due me being naive and not understanding things with a smattering of British exceptionalism as much as I don't like to admit).

    As much as I loathe the current government, moving back was right for us - mainly around job security for me, future earning potential for my wife ('unskilled'/has no formal quals), and for our kids (notably avoiding the Polish school curriculum given all the recent changes).
    Plus women's/abortion rights - really wanted our second that was on the way at the time to be born here, and she was in May :)
