  We study the E and B mode polarisation of the cosmic microwave background
(CMB) originating from the transverse peculiar velocity of free electrons, at
second order in perturbation theory, during the reionisation and
post-reionisation eras. Interestingly, the spectrum of this polarised kinetic
Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect can be decomposed into a blackbody part and a
y-type distortion. The y-distortion part is distinguishable from the primary E
and B modes and also the lensing B modes. Furthermore, it is also
differentiable from the other y-type signals, such as the thermal SZ effect,
which are unpolarised. We show that this signal is sensitive to the
reionisation history, in particular to how fast reionisation happens. The E and
B modes of y-type distortion provide a way to beat the cosmic variance of
primary CMB anisotropies and are an independent probe of the cosmological
parameters. The blackbody component of the pkSZ effect would be an important
foreground for the primordial tensor modes for tensor to scalar ratio $r
\lesssim 3\times10^{-5}$.
