As of right now, it’s just another desperate scrabble in the mud for a “broken Brexit promise” story.
I’m sure it won’t stop you trying though.

They're NOT in the UK. They want to come to the UK. That is a different matter.

One heavily pregnant British woman living in Barcelona said she could not come home to visit her father, who has recently suffered a brain injury, after her husband was refused a permit.

Why does somebody's husband need to come to the UK in order for the wife to
visit her father?

Olivia Hughes said her Moroccan husband, Abdel, a legal Spanish resident, had been refused a permit because of paperwork and was now on a knife-edge over a potential appeal which may force her into a first tribunal court case.
...
"They could have just asked for the extra paperwork but instead refused. An appeal could take months or a year and then we miss the deadline for pre-settled status.”

AFAIK, the effect of any favourable appeal is backdated, and is effective as of the date of the original unfavourable decision.

“The sad thing is it is making problems between us. To not be able to come back with my husband when an emergency happens is just really difficult to swallow.

So no actual reason or need for moving back to the UK, just a what if? Sounds like immigration fraud to me, so that he can leave her behind in Spain, and come to the UK himself.
