Labour has been accused of a “surrender” to the European Union over the future of Gibraltar. EU Commission president Ursula von der Leyen has welcomed a deal for a fluid border which has triggered alarm in the UK.

The UK either maintains or has the ability to host forces from across all warfighting domains in Gibraltar, including intelligence gathering.

It is a familiar story for non-resident British citizens in Mallorca and the rest of the European Union; you can only spend 180 days here in two batches of 90 days. It has caused many problems but British citizens were keeping their fingers crossed that things would change especially as both Britain and Spain are talking more bilateral deals.

David Lammy has urged MPs not to believe the “fake news” surrounding the UK’s deal with the EU over Gibraltar’s border with Spain.

The last week has seen Gibraltar social media swarm with rumours that the agreement concerning its relationship with the EU was about to be announced.
