NextImg:Gibraltar to join EU free movement as Labour set to hand over control of border to Spain

The UK and Gibraltar are said to have agreed a post-Brexit deal that would hand control of the island's border to Europe.

The British Overseas Territory will join the Schengen free movement zone, as Foreign Secretary, David Lammy, went over the final parameters of the deal.

Britons will now have to show their passports to Spanish or EU border guards upon arrival in Gibraltar.

After reaching an agreement with Gibraltar's chief minister, Fabian Picardo, Lammy has headed to Brussels to secure the deal with EU Brexit negotiator Maros Sefcovic and the Spanish foreign minister, Jose Manuel Albares.

Picardo wrote on X: "[It was] time to try to finalise arrangements for lasting, stable relationship between Gibraltar and the EU/Spain which is safe, secure and beneficial."

The deal would allow around 15,000 Spanish workers to continue crossing the border daily and Gibraltarians to have their freedom of movement back within Europe.

Former Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, told GB News: "We are absolutely furious about this deal. It's another unbelievable and unimaginable betrayal.

"Through their warped apologist view of history this Government seeks determined to put the Britain last.

"This is yet another step for us to rejoin the EU by the back door.

"We will now be in the absurd situation where British people, arriving on sovereign British territory, will have to show their passports to foreign officials.

"It won't be long before the Government pays Spain to take Gibraltar and does the same for the Falklands and Argentina."
