Labour fully backs Gibraltar,
and yet corbyn has already stated that Spain should have joint sovereignty ,
plus he wants to reduce the forces to a defence force only,

and no subs,
Good luck then, with labour backing them up.

Presently... having the backing of the Labour party is about on par with having the backing of the Green Party...
Or perhaps the raving looney party...

This woman leans with the prevailing political winds, she cannot be trusted on anything. She would offload Gibraltar quicker than you could blink if Corbyn wanted it.

Perhaps the time has come for Gibraltar to have another referendum.
