New photo Spain vows to vote against Brexit deal without new concessions on Gibraltar

Spain today insisted it would vote against the Brexit deal without new guarantees on Gibraltar.

Theresa May spoke to the Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez last night in a bid to end the diplomatic flare-up that has rocked the final phase of the negotiations.

But Madrid made clear today it remained deeply unhappy with the future status of the Rock, insisting any future UK-EU trade must not apply there without a Spanish say.

Luis Marco Aguiriano, Spanish minister for the EU, accused Theresa May and the EU of 'acting under the cover of darkness' over Gibraltar. 

The Prime Minister has vowed to deliver a deal for the 'whole UK family' including Gibraltar and other overseas territories.

Spain cannot outright veto the Brexit deal at Sunday's summit to sign off the divorce but Brussels will be desperate to get unanimous agreement from EU leaders. 

EU sources have made clear irritation at Spain's decision to try and reopen the issue of Gibraltar at the 11th hour of the talks.  

EU spokesman Margaritis Schinas confirmed today 'work is continuing' to resolve differences over Gibraltar, the tiny territory at the tip of the Iberian Peninsula that was ceded to Britain in 1713 but is still claimed by Spain.

'There are ideas, contacts are ongoing,' Schinas said, without providing further details.

Last year's EU guidelines on the Brexit negotiations effectively gave Spain veto powers over future relations between the bloc and the British overseas territory. 

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on Tuesday that his government 'cannot accept' Gibraltar's future being determined by negotiations at the EU level.

Following the call between Mr Sanchez and Mrs May last night, a Downing Street spokesman said: '(Mrs May) said there had been good engagement between the UK, the Government of Spain and the Government of Gibraltar in order to come to an agreement in the Withdrawal Agreement and associated package of Memoranda of Understanding relating to Gibraltar.

'She said that the UK and Government of Gibraltar looked forward to these discussions continuing as we discuss the future relationship.

'The Prime Minister reiterated her commitment to agreeing a deal that works for the whole UK family including Gibraltar, the other UK Overseas Territories and the Crown Dependencies.'

Best for Britain champion and former Lib Dem leader Tim Farron MP said: 'This spat over Gibraltar could potentially sink Theresa May's bad Brexit deal once and for all. 

'The people of Gibraltar must not be used as pawns in a political game between Whitehall and Brussels. 

'The political declaration released today did not mention Gibraltar once. It seems to me that this declaration is all about unicorns and the never never rather than about facts. With issues with Scottish Tories and the DUP on one side and the Spanish government on the other the government looks like it is stuck between a rock and a hard plaice. 

'I worry that in this messy divorce we might be leaving one of the children behind.'

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
