The time is here. The UK EU Treaty on the future relationship between the EU and the UK in relation to Gibraltar has been signed today. This is a historic treaty.

I am sorry to say that @Jacob_Rees_Mogg clearly has not even started to understand the complexity of the issues that arise for #Gibraltar as a result of #Brexit. BRITISH is what Gibraltar is and will always be. BRITISH is what I and all my fellow Gibraltarians are and will always

Clearly Fabian Picardo, the Chief Minister, no longer wants the inconvenience to Gibraltar of being British so he must want it to be Spanish. mol.im/a/13441311
Readers added context
Fabian Picardo, the Chief Minister is clear that Gibraltar is British and should remain British. twitter.com/FabianPicardo/…

My fullest solidarity with Pedro Sanchez. Politics is a contest of ideas, not a litany of insults, abuse and attacks on family. I have sued Manos Limpias and Miguel Bernal and won for similar defamations. #PedroSanchez @sanchezcastejon

Another surrender and a handover in all but name. This government consistently undermines Britain, and it is absolutely unforgivable. The Falklands will be next.

I agree @Peston. Whichever side of the debate you are on, revoking Art50 is the best way to TAKE BACK CONTROL of #BREXIT. If MPs won’t support the WA, revoke then plan to leave in a managed way. Alternatively, carve a legit route to remain via the 3Rs: REVOKE, REFERENDUM, REMAIN.

Should MPs change the Brexit default from no-deal to “revoke article 50”? What do you think. It would mean UK automatically staying in EU rather than leaving without deal, in event that there is no negotiated exit. SNP have been contemplating putting up amendment to that...

This is untrue and misleading. It should be entirely disregarded. Disappointed in @Telegraph.

🚨 Britain and Gibraltar have agreed a post-Brexit deal which would hand control of the territory’s border to Europe, The Telegraph understands. Britons will now have to show passports to Spanish or EU guards when they land on the Rock.

Twenty years ago on Monday 7th November, #Gibraltar voted NO to diluting our exclusively British sovereignty by 99% to 1%. Just like 1967, our feelings have not changed today. We'll NEVER countenance diluting our exclusively British sovereignty or our jurisdiction or control.

I am very pleased Pedro Sanchez has decided to stay on as Prime Minister of Spain. This is obviously good for Gibraltar. It is also good for decent politics. It is good for those who believe, as I do, that it is right to stand and fight for what is right and what is true in the

Mixing a sporting victory and the chant that glorifies the dictatorial politics of a mass murderer like Franco and his fascist regime's attempt to usurp a neighbouring territory, that is also a UEFA nation, is worse than disgusting. It sullies the sport of football and the win

This is NOT true @thetimes. Please be careful to report accurate details and not set false hares running on a deal as important and sensitive as this.

British passport holders who do not hold valid Gibraltar residents permits could not, previously, live in Gibraltar all year. That was never the case. Such an analysis would, therefore, be completely flawed.

On the Gibraltar deal, do Schengen arrangements mean British passport holders can only spend a maximum of 90 days in Gibraltar now, whereas as before they could visit and live there all year? What is that if not a dilution of sovereignty? @DavidLammy

James "Jimmy" Dalmedo has been a Government driver for 42 years. In that time, he has driven all five Chief Ministers. I felt it only fair that on his last working day before retirement, it was his turn to be driven home in G1 by the current Chief Minister. I will miss you Jimmy!
