London Mayor calls for Londoners to have EU 'associate citizenship'

Sadiq Khan said: “Like so many Londoners, I am heartbroken that we are no longer a member of the European Union, but that doesn’t mean our country’s future can’t be closely linked with the rest of Europe.

Londoners who are heartbroken over Brexit should be allowed to keep their EU citizenship, Mayor Sadiq Khan has suggested.

Ahead of a visit to Brussels today, Mayor Khan urged the British government to allow all British nationals to have "associate citizenship" of the EU.
