Hello, I wonder if anyone would be able to clarify a point that has recently come up.

Mrs A today says we need to share/vacate the property as we are only here as guests under a Licence to Occupy. It’s the first time this term has been used, does it apply to us? She says we are living in a fantasy land if we think we have any tenant rights.

Many thanks

Mrs A is living in fantasy land, not you.  A 'Licence to Occupy' is a specific type of agreement that both parties sign.  Mrs A cannot decide, unilaterally, that your occupation falls under the auspices of such an agreement; no such agreement would appear to exist, and she just can't anyway.  There's more information here: Types of renting agreement - Shelter England
Just for clarity: has your partner (Mr/Miss/Mrs/Ms/Dr/Rev/Air Commodore Skyeyez) paid Mrs A any sort of capital sum for the 20% mentioned?  If so, is there anything in writing?  You also mention Mrs A wanting you to 'reserve £500 in her bank account'.  Dubious.  Not you, Mrs A's choice of words.  Does that actually entail you making a payment of £500 to her by cheque, cash or bank transfer?  
As others have said, you would appear to be a tenant.

You need to find somewhere else to live.

This is going to turn ugly.
