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.

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

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...

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.

Brilliant by DCM Dr Joseph Garcia "Our Gibraltarian identity is non-negotiable. We are not Spanish. Our homeland is not up for sale ... and we will never pay with our sovereignty in return for normal coexistence with our neighbors across the border."

Zero active cases in Gibraltar 🇬🇮 for the first time since 21st July 2020. Thank you to everyone that has helped us to achieve this magical milestone. We will have more cases in future, but I believe that we are beyond the worst now - subject to variants and other surprises.

#VEDay is not just a day off. Its a celebration of the liberation of Europe from deadly fascism. Without the sacrifice of allied servicemen/women we wouldn't be free. Without the men of the precursor to @RoyalGibraltar & the determination of our evacuees we wouldn't be #Gibraltar

There is no chance that @GibraltarGov or the People of #Gibraltar will ever entertain joint sovereignty proposals. Some need to 'wake up & smell the coffee'. It was 'no way Jose' in 2016 & that will never change! Tabling such issues would guarantee no engagement & no talks!

Exactly 100 days since we reported our first death to #COVID (11th November) #Gibraltar is able to report the first day with ZERO new cases since 26th November. Please continue to be responsible, continue to wash your hands, keep your distance & wear your mask as required.

Today we have filed a criminal complaint in Spain against the political party Vox & those of its leaders who have repeatedly incited hatred against the people of Gibraltar. This is only the first of a number of different actions we will take to protect our people & our nation.

Delighted to be able to report 0 (ZERO) active cases of #COVID19 in #Gibraltar again! One hell of an achievement for us all. My proudest achievement in politics to date. But lets not celebrate & lets not get complacent. We are achieving this together with prudence & caution.

In order to leave no doubt whatsoever and ensure utter clarity of the UK/Gibraltar positions, the UK has today responded to the EU Council and Commission declarations, asking that the response be sent to the EU Head of Govt, which includes the Prime Minister of Spain.

The full and deep support we enjoy from @theresa_may was evident today as she attended the #Gibraltar reception at #CPC18 . Not the first time she and I meet at conference - she took a great interest in Gib matters as Home Secretary and we met on issues in those days too.

This morning I managed to make to make it to the top of #TheRock on the e-bike again. I know it's not as hard as a normal bike, but it's hard for me and I just would not even try on a normal bike, for now at last. It's also a LOT of fun and healthy.

Gibraltar is going into "lock down". More of our businesses will have to close. We will be confined to our homes unless we are doing prescribed activities. We have to do this to slow the virus. We will review things every 48 hours. The frontier will NOT close.
