FTR. As well as being a UK citizen, I am now also a legally recognised German citizen, a necessity caused by Brexit. My wife is Italian, daughter likewise dual citizen (IT/UK).
Normally, to avoid complicating the flight bookings or potentially getting split-up at customs, we travel together to/from the UK on our EU passports; since 2025 with an ETA.
I would have thought that legally, we should be afforded the same rights (and restrictions) that all German/Italian citizens have when travelling to the UK.
Namely, being able to use the DE or IT passport with an ETA.
Now they are saying as a dual citizen (UK/DE or IT/UK), we are no longer able to request an ETA, something that any other German or Italian citizen can do effortlessly.
My question is: Why not???
It can't be a security issue as I could potentially revoke my UK citizenship (isn't happening) and just travel on my DE passport, just as I did recently over Xmas.
What are they afraid of?
"We are not the enemy".... or are we?

To complicate the issue, both of our UK passports are currently being renewed, which if/when it happens in the future could potentially prevent us from travelling to the UK for the duration of the renewal, even though we have perfectly valid EU passports.
