A 60-year-old British man with serious health problems has gone into hiding in Sweden after being told to leave the country in a post-Brexit residency dispute. Mark Smith says Swedish officials told him he needed to do nothing, but he was later ruled to need a formal application. A court refused to pause his removal order. The Foreign Office says it is providing consular support.
