If this is the case, this has interesting knock-on effects for a number of things. 1) this would mean that the government (executive) would need to bring in primary legislation to allow EU citizens to continue to work and live in the UK. (those who have registered I think would be ok. I'm grateful for corrections on this point though) This is something they have promised, but not actually delivered (Which I suspect will be running theme.) 2) haulage companies would need to change drivers (and probably truck) at the border (possibly the EU side, which would be interesting, as I'm not sure how haulage licenses work in practice. I know multidrop/mixed purpose [as in deliver x and pickup y are expressly not allowed]) 3) as far as I'm aware, any truck driver delivering stuff would need a temporary work visa, which requires a sponsor and load of cash and time (The first is difficult, the last in very short supply.) If anyone has links to legislation that contradicts this, I'm all ears.

  That was the previous approach mentioned in the article, which is now dead as the bill likely wouldn't get through the House of Commons.

Everyone in my facebook groups have been freaking about is how they're actually going to implement it. Anyone arriving the week of the 31st of October has no way of proving they did so. Even if you have applied as pre-settled or settled there's no physical paper or stamp or anything that you can show to an immigration officer. There's only a government page where you can check your status. I honestly don't know how they're going to control their borders.
