If it seems like I'm having a 'crack on feckless, mewling, treacherous Sir Keir Starmer Day,' why, yes - yes, I am.
DIS GUY
I think the inventory of what's left of the empire has to be so small now, with basically worthless dribs and drabs that he shouldn't be able to do any more harm.
He's neutered it completely.
And used subterfuge and dissemination the entire time for - this is the absolute killer part of the whole thing - deals that never had to be made.
Back a year ago, in the spring, besides polishing the spit off the Chagos deal, Starmer was busying cozying up the people he really idolizes - the insufferable elitists ensconced in Brussels.
They are so thoroughly his patrician ideal - arrogant, authoritarian, and dystopian to such an extent that if he couldn't wave a magic wand to automatically convert the United Kingdom to a Brussels vassel, then, by God, he'd do everything he could to tether the island to the European Union in as many ways as possible.
His squinty little eyes behind those coke-bottle lenses had, sadly, fixed on the British territory of Gibraltar as one way to demonstrate his fealty to the unelected Empress Ursula and her court.
The Rock, standing for eons athwart the entrance to the Mediterranean, and ceded to the British crown in 1713 by the Treaty of Utrecht, the tiny colony has withstood invasion and weather for centuries as a proud British territory, rebuffing Spanish attempts to reacquire it that continue to this day.
When Britain left the EU, Gibraltar went with her.
This has proved irksome to both Spaniards and, apparently, the British prime minister. What he negotiated last spring was billed as a sort of reasonable accommodation to tend to EU sensibilities amid his questionable reworking of the Brexit border deal.
What would happen when it was all said and done, Starmer explained, was that the formerly hassle-free travel of Brits to their own territory would now be controlled by Spanish border guards who would check passports and control entry points to the British territory.
Everything Starmer does is by stealth. Everything Starmer has done has been at the detriment of the UK and endemic Brits. The sooner the public realise it the better but they are leaving it late.— Cockney Rebel (@RebelHQ) June 21, 2025
This seemed very counterintuitive to British travelers simply wanting to visit a British colony as they traditionally had and who, frankly, have no love for the Spanish in any event. Formerly visa-free British travelers to a British territory would now be treated as foreigners in the dreaded EU Schengen Zone for the first time and could, quite literally, get sent home before ever reaching their own Rock.
UK visitors to Gibraltar could be refused entry by Spanish frontier officials – even if they have a passport valid for the British Overseas Territory. They would then be sent home on the next plane.
As part of a post-Brexit treaty, Spain will check the passports of British travellers flying to Gibraltar. The move marks a breakthrough in discussions that have been ongoing since Britain left the European Union in 2020.
The deal has been constructed to allow a free flow of passengers, vehicles and goods across the land frontier between Gibraltar and Spain. In order to achieve this, Gibraltar must be treated the same as the Schengen area – the passport-free zone that includes almost all the European Union, plus Iceland, Norway and Switzerland.
As a result, British travellers will be barred once their passport has less than three months remaining
These are the key questions and answers.
That was a year ago, and now, as with the disastrous Chagos deal with Mauritius, the very devil himself is being exposed in the details that Starmer never revealed until forced to.
Britons are horrified as it becomes apparent that Starmer has basically given the Rock of Gibraltar to the European Union. For the record, Gibraltar is also a NATO base and intel center.
PM mired in fresh crisis over Gibraltar as 'national asset' to fall under EU control in 'surrender' deal
A former cabinet minister has accused the Government of "surrendering sovereignty" after it was revealed Gibraltar’s airport is to be jointly managed by Spain and headquartered in an EU country under a post-Brexit treaty.
The details of the 700-page treaty on Gibraltar, which is based on an agreement reached between Britain and Spain in June, were initially leaked to Brexit think tank Fact4EU and shared exclusively with GB News ahead of today's release.
It follows a previous report for the People's Channel, which sounded the alarm over the Government's push to ratify a Chagos-style carve-up of the British Overseas Territory without Parliamentary oversight.
In that report, Shadow Foreign Secretary Priti Patel warned that sovereignty guarantees have once again “fallen apart” under the "secret" deal between Britain and Spain, claiming that it smacked of "dodgy cover-up".
...Under the new treaty, set to be ratified by Brussels in the coming weeks, the British MoD airport will become a 50/50 joint venture between the UK and Spain and managed by an airport management company headquartered in the EU, the People's Channel understands.
It is not yet clear whether this will be limited only to the airport building itself, but in any event, the intrusion of an EU country in any aspect of the running of the airport could be considered an incursion on British sovereignty.
The full treaty text also reveals:
- Entry checks on third-country nationals will be carried out by the Gibraltar authorities and then by Spain (as the neighbouring Schengen State).
- If you arrive from UK (third country) you would enter through a separate entrance next to the existing one, and go to the second line checks area, where Gibraltar and Schengen would carry out controls. Schengen interaction would be with the Automated Border Control System. Those not eligible will go to Schengen Immigration booths.
- Anyone refused entry at the airport by the Gibraltar authorities will be taken to the Second Line Checks Area where Spanish officials will review whether they are legally entitled to enter Schengen.
- Spain can also refuse entry to third country nationals who do not comply with the Schengen Borders Code. The individual will be given the option to be sent back.
- Spain can refuse entry to anyone flagged on the Schengen system.
- Gibraltar would have jurisdiction for anyone flagged on its system.
- Gibraltar would be the only competent authority for any Gibraltar resident, although Spain would be notified for further checks on the Schengen database.
- Gibraltar has to make flight Advance Passenger Information available to Spain.
- The Gibraltar authorities have the power to grant asylum following consultation with Spain. The applicant must be detained in Gibraltar until a final decision is taken. If granted, the international protection is limited to Gibraltar.
- Spanish officials present at the airport outside the second line checks area could be in uniform within the immigration booths.
- Spanish officials outside the Immigration booths, between check areas, could be in civilian clothes, but always identifiable.
People are gobsmacked at both the level of deceit before being caught and the sellout in the 1000-page agreement just released.
Serious question: Does Starmer not understand that he should be championing British rights and interests rather than those of other countries?
What briefs is Starmer giving out to his team?
If there is anyone with a shred of integrity left within the Government, please whistle-blow on this incompetent idiot.

...If there is anyone with a shred of integrity left within the Government, please whistle-blow on this incompetent idiot.
The British military operating at and around Gibraltar also loses their former sovereignty.
...Britain will also have to notify Spain of any movement of weapons to the strategically vital military base, which will also be subject to strict monitoring rules, with arms stored in named secure storage facilities, which inspectors will be able to verify.
Critics will see the changes to the rules for a British base in a British Overseas Territory as a major sacrifice of sovereignty to a foreign power that claims Gibraltar should be Spanish.
The treaty has already come under fire for handing Madrid control of Gibraltar’s borders and aligning the Rock, which Britain captured during the War of the Spanish Succession in 1704, with European laws.
Brussels demanded the military concession that would ensure that weapons would not enter the EU’s Schengen zone of free movement because the new border treaty removes the land border with Spain.
The treaty empowers Spain “to inspect the relevant aircraft, ships, infrastructures and facilities in Gibraltar where a risk to the Union’s Single Market for goods has been identified”.
Spanish inspections on behalf of the EU will be accompanied by British personnel, who “shall co-operate” with requests to access the bases.
The treaty states the Spanish shall carry out “any necessary tasks” and have “access to the relevant infrastructures, documentation and records and any other relevant information”.
Britain is under no legal obligation to allow inspections of its other sovereign bases abroad or to give lists of its weapons shipments. In Cyprus, however, it does notify arms movements out of courtesy.
People are gasping at the concessions...
...The deal introduces a requirement that Spain can authorise or deny weapons arriving by land to Gibraltar under laws meant to tackle weapons smuggling and ensure arms embargoes are observed.
...The 1,000-page treaty, which was published on Thursday, states: “[They] shall not be considered to be in free circulation in Gibraltar but in a form of temporary admission under the control of the relevant authorities.
“As soon as reasonably practicable and in any event before the transfer of the items, the United Kingdom shall provide the Liaison Officer of the Kingdom of Spain with a list of the items and a certificate signed by the United Kingdom Liaison Officer guaranteeing that such items: (a) will be securely transported and stored in designated facilities; and (b) will be subject to a strict accounting and tracking system.”
...even as the Labour government assures concerned analysts, 'Oh no worries about that section. We're not doing that.'
...Asked about the requirement to provide lists, a Foreign Office spokesman told The Telegraph: “This is misleading. We will not be providing Spain with an inventory of military equipment stored on the base.”
If not, then why is it in the agreement?
Why is it all right there in black and white?
Not just transfers of military equipment: personnel too.
For some reason, it's also considered necessary to allow Spain to inspect Navy ships, RAF aircraft and weapons stores "to protect the Single Market".https://t.co/ZfQQjyDURZ pic.twitter.com/MKQvVphJM6— Bea Johanssen (@bea_johanssen) February 27, 2026
The prime minister's toadies, spinning wildly to sell this bag of dung, are doing the British version of 'Don't believe what your lying eyes are telling you.'
...Currently British travellers flying from the UK pass only through Gibraltar’s immigration checks, without any Spanish involvement.
Stephen Doughty, the foreign officer minister, insisted the agreement safeguarded sovereignty. He told MPs that Gibraltar was “not joining Schengen” and that immigration, policing and justice would remain the responsibility of its own institutions.
He said: “This treaty ensures Gibraltar’s economy, people and future are protected as an integral part of the British family.”
Meanwhile, the 'British family' knows damn well it's watching another limb get sliced off.
It’s not just a base, it’s the entirety of Gibraltar. Spain will control taxation, policing and everything else. It is ceding itself to the EU and Spain. Britain is acting like it lost a war.— Willoughby Woodward (@WilloughbyWood2) February 27, 2026
And are well aware of what sort of Schengen's Starmer's trying to blow up their collective asterisks.

Hey, I’ve been by there. More than once. 😁👍
Gibraltar airport is a unique experience... as the runway is smack-dab between the town and the Spanish border... Crazy to see pedestrians allowed to walk across the runway as they please until ground crew waves them off a couple minutes or so before a plane is due in.
Screw that empire. They treated the Founding Fathers badly.
