Families unwillingly separated because of Brexit

Il problema

Since Brexit has come into place, people are required to apply for a visa to go to, stay and live in the UK regardless of their background or reasons. As a European dual nationality family,we have now been separated for longer than 3 months because my British husband of 15 years accepted a new job in Scotland.  He moved there in August to start working, but myself and our 3 kids (Italian passport holders) cannot join him without a visa. We have applied for a Family Permit to join a family member (my husband and father of my 3 children) over 3 months ago, but we haven't received any progress updates, apart from the fact that our request has finally been received by the Liverpool UK Visa and Immigration Office.

I think this is unfair on all sides for me, for my husband and especially for our 3 children. I am simply asking to be together, as a family, in the same country, where my husband is a citizen. To avoid even more families being separated, I am asking the UK Government to give a concession to European families who were formed before Brexit - grant them an entry visa 1 month after the application submission, so they can be reunited and allow them to apply for a family permit once in the UK.
