> The Swedish wife of a British man detained in Stockholm and told he could be deported within two weeks has appealed to Andy Burnham to intervene. She says an appeal against the deportation is still before the courts. The case is the latest in a wider dispute over Sweden’s post-Brexit treatment of British residents, amid criticism of its refusal rate for residency applications.
