British MEP’s told to LEAVE EU Parliament in new notice

Normally we would be outraged that our democratic politicians would be barred from doing their jobs but in the case it is a cause for celebration and for many remainers the Brussels gravy train will be well and truly over.

According to an internal “notice” dated January 9 talks of the “End of mandate for Members elected in the U.K. : information regarding their financial and social entitlements, their staff, and logistics,” the European Parliament will reimburse British MEPs for “final trip” back to the U.K. from their “last final registered presence” in Brussels or Strasbourg or “more generally at the end of their last working week,” before Brexit day on January 31.

U.K. MEPs will also be given an additional three months to access Parliament email accounts and the “ePOrtal” intranet and they will benefit from a “badge for former members” to access the Parliament “from Monday to Friday during building opening hours.”

With the U.K. now all but certain to leave the EU at the end of the month, MEPs were asked to vacate their offices next week in Strasbourg and before February 7 in Brussels. Notices have been sent to U.K. parliamentarians before, since the Brexit deadline has been pushed back several times.

British MEPs will travel to Strasbourg next week for their last plenary session (though a two-day plenary in Brussels is scheduled for January 29).
