MSPs and unions join the campaign to defend EU nationals

SCOTTISH politicians, trade unionists and campaigners added their voices today to a call to defend the rights of European Union nationals through a united campaign.

Holyrood MSPs, including Scottish Labour Party leader Richard Leonard, the Unison, Unite, FBU and PCS unions and the Scottish Refugee Council signed a statement drafted by Stand Up To Racism (SUTR).

The text warns that Prime Minister Boris Johnson has failed to provide any assurance to the 3.2 million EU nationals living in Britain as to their rights in the event of a no-deal Brexit.
