More broken Brexit promises?

Ministers accused of failing to secure rights of Britons with foreign spouses in EU
Campaigners say Britons are facing problems with Home Office over rights to return to UK
Ministers have been accused of breaching their promise to secure the post-Brexit rights of thousands of British nationals who settled in the EU and married foreigners.
Campaigners at British in Europe (BiE) have written to the Foreign Office minister Wendy Morton and the immigration minister Kevin Foster telling of the “heartbreak” and “distress” endured by British citizens who are facing problems with the Home Office over their rights to return home to the UK...
Another woman, married to a British man for six years, with their own business and mortgage-free home in the Czech Republic, said they had applied to the Home Office in January for a permit and were told they would have to wait two weeks. They are still waiting. “We find it appalling that our EU friends can stay in the UK with their non-EU spouse yet I don’t even have the permission to enter the country,” she said.
