New photo Spain warns it could still BLOCK the Brexit deal without a veto on Gibraltar

Veto threat: Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez today. Madrid has threatened to veto Theresa May's Brexit deal on Sunday over its provisions for Gibraltar 

Spain has threatened to block the Brexit deal if it does not get a veto over how any future trade deal applies to Gibraltar.

The threat could derail the draft agreement reached between Brussels and London and is another headache for Theresa May as she tries to quell revolt at home. 

Madrid refuses to accept The Rock is a part of Britain despite the fact it has been an overseas territory since 1713. 

The divorce deal sets up a new UK-Spanish oversight committee to manage ties across the border after Brexit.

But Spain is demanding a specific opt out on any trade deal be added to the part of the divorce committing the EU to negotiate it.

The divorce deal is supposed to be locked and not due to be reopened before Sunday's summit.  

Speaking in Brussels today, Spanish Foreign Minister Josep Borrell said: 'The negotiations between the United Kingdom and the EU do not apply to Gibraltar... future negotiations on Gibraltar are separate negotiation.'

'And that is what must be made clear.

'Until we have the future declaration and we know what it says, whether we agree or not, we are also not going to approve the withdrawal agreement.'

EU leaders will be asked to approve the divorce deal at a special summit on Sunday, assuming Mrs May has not been ousted by her own party before then.

Gibraltar is due to leave the European Union along with the United Kingdom in March, although 96 percent of its population voted in the 2016 referendum to remain in the bloc.  

Spain has frequently tried to use Gibraltar as a negotiating chip in the Brexit talks but has not so far used its veto in the negotiations. 

The draft Brexit deal sets up a new cooperation framework between Britain and Spain to oversee the Rock. 

A six-part clause creates three UK-Spanish committees to supervise cross-border workers, smuggling, environmental protection, law enforcement and border control.

An overarching committee of UK-EU officials means Brussels gets an oversight role on the new arrangement.    

An EU diplomat said the issue could go as far as the Sunday summit of all EU leaders aimed at rubber-stamping the Brexit deal, where other outstanding points are fishing and a limit on any extension of a post-Brexit transition phase.

Noting how Spain was obliged to accept British positions on Gibraltar when it was negotiating its 1986 accession to the bloc, a decade after Britain had joined, a senior EU official said London now had to accept that "the tables have turned".

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.”
