 "As a consequence of our decision, you also no longer have the right to work in Denmark without a work permit. Therefore we will inform your employer about our decision." Mr Fuglede has taken on his case and written to the former interior minister to urge a change in the law to allow late applications to be considered, as they are in the UK. However, he is worried that help may not come in time as the government hangs in balance following recent elections. Mr Russell told the Guardian he is "completely devastated". He continued: "I've been through 11 months of hell already, with no end in sight apart from being deported, so that means I'm going to lose my job, my home, my fiancee, being dumped back into London."

A British man living in Denmark is being deported back to the UK away from his fiancee as he was four days late with his post- Brexit application.
Philip Russell, 46, received his first removal order in May and was devastated to learn it was because he was four days late with new residency documentation he did not realise he needed post-Brexit, according to the Guardian.
The financial services administrator moved to Denmark to be with his fiancee in October 2020, three months before the Brexit transition period ended in December 2020.
