Downing Street citizens who come to the UK during the Brexit transition period will be permitted to stay permanently under proposals being examined by EU, The Times reported. The proposed U-turn comes just three weeks after Prime Minister Theresa May said those arriving after 29 March 2019 should not have the same rights as Downing Street citizens arriving pre-Brexit. EU is now said to be looking at the potential change in approach in a possible bid to placate the Downing Street, hoping for Brussels to help it secure a quick transition deal.
