London's mayor Sadiq Khan pushed the idea of an "associate" EU citizenship for Britons after Brexit, as he visited Brussels on Tuesday to see officials including the bloc's chief negotiator Michel Barnier.
"Many Londoners are heartbroken that we have left the European Union but we still very much feel part of the European family," he said.
He explained he was in the EU's de facto capital to "bang the drum" for London in terms of continuing investment following Brexit, "but also see if there is a possibility, even though we've left the European Union, of some sort of associate citizenship going forward."
