Maybe, maybe not, the law has yet to be passed.
And Austrians are still in the same boat, Germany doesn't allow dual with countries outside the EU (which the UK will soon be) and then there's the point of principle: Forcing people into a citizenship is rather bizarre, and taking away existing rights of people that could not vote on a decision is also rather amoral, I think.
I can probably work something out, even if this won't happen I have a lot of paperwork and have always worked, I could even change job to get a wage increase (and more working hours, so yay) to get to more money if needed.
It's the whole lack of any attempt to compromise compared to EU rights and the indirect approval of xenophobia by the UK government that is just not great. It's not personal, but that's what the bad guys in movies say too :/

He developed these arguments further in a recent Policy Exchange lecture, entitled ‘Brexit: A Prize in Reach for the Left’. I read that, and it was in my view total waffle.
A skimread of this doesn't convince me, they are not addressing the issues surrounding globalization which leave the EU just won't fix. I wish I had an easy fix, but I don't.
I had a look at 2, I have to agree with you there, they don't offer anything bar "it'll be fine..."
3) it's nice they want to offer british citizenship, but some of us EU ones cannot hold dual citizenship...this will cause all sorts of problems.
Say, I want to move back to The Netherlands. I am not a Dutch citizen anymore, now I fall under Dutch 3rd country immigration laws as the UK left the EU. These laws, like in the UK, are not nice.
So, nice gesture, but it won't work.
