Summary: British Prime Minister Theresa May has denied she ceded to Spanish demands over Gibraltar in the negotiations over the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the EU, a process commonly referred to as Brexit. Speaking to the House of Commons on Monday, May said: “We are proud that Gibraltar is British and our position on sovereignty has not and will not change.” Her comments came after Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said the political agreement reached over Gibraltar – a disputed British Overseas Territory located in the south of the Iberian peninsula and ceded to Great Britain in 1713 under the Treaty of Utrecht – was a clear victory for Spain. May ended her speech with the following declaration: “Our message to the people of Gibraltar is clear, we will always stand by you, we are proud that Gibraltar is British and our position on sovereignty has not and will not change.” The Conservative press has backed the British prime minister and attacked Spain for “grandstanding.” RYANAIR has been found guilty in Spain of violating the right to strike of cabin crews, and of breaching work safety regulations. Unions have revealed that the Labo ur Ministry has threatened to fine the budget airline on this basis, and for obstructing inspections. A TEAM of snipers are being sought by environment experts to patrol parks in Spain to eradicate wild parakeets. The population of the birds has apparently soared to uncontrollable numbers since they were first introduced to the country as pets in the 1970s. Their vast numbers are now ‘overshadowing quieter native fauna’ and ‘threatening to destabilise the ecosystem’. Donald Trump added to Theresa May's woes with an extraordinary attack on the package she has negotiated with Brussels. He jibed that the deal was 'great for the EU' - and warned it would hit trade with the US. The intervention - which was pounced on by Tory Eurosceptics - immediately sparked speculation that Mr Trump might have been listening to Mr Farage, whom he once backed as a candidate for US ambassador. A Tory MP revealed today he was 'evolving' a 'Plan B' Brexit to make it easier to agree with Brussels if Theresa May's deal fails in Parliament. Nick Boles, a former minister under David Cameron, said instead of trying to negotiate a brand new trade deal in just two years Britain should join a group called the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) in 2021. Nevine Mann, 36, and her husband Richard, 37, claim they have enough 'essentials' to keep them going for four months after the UK leaves the European Union. Th e couple, of Illogan, Cornwall, have stockpiled chickpeas, kidney beans, tuna, pasta, rice, couscous, chopped tomatoes, sterilised milk, tinned corn, beans, paracetamol and ibuprofen. They have also bought mountains of aspirin, juice, hand soap, Calpol, dried milk, honey, tea, coffee, porridge oats, raisins, bread, flour, yeast and Marmite. A cyclist thug who pulled out a huge 'zombie knife' and began smashing a car window in a terrifying road rage attack was today spared jail, sparking fury. Shocking dashcam footage showed an 18year old man brandishing the enormous blade on a busy south London road before repeatedly slashing at the car and threatening its 19-year-old driver, who got out and ran away.
