Gibraltar’s representation at the Labour Party Conference continued yesterday evening with the Gibraltar Reception hosted by the Chief Minister Fabian Picardo and featuring a keynote speech by the UK Minister for Europe and the Overseas Territories Stephen Doughty MP.
The Ministry of Equality is reminding the public that expressions of interest for the current cycle of the Women’s Mentorship Programme continue to be invited.
Together Gibraltar has described the statement by the GSD yesterday as “little more than a shameful attempt to pander to antivaxxeers and conspiracy theorists” adding that the party’s contribution “compromises Gibraltar’s capacity to address the still ongoing Covid pandemic - only for a handful of votes.”
The Government has said that it is “quite incredible” that the GSD’s Roy Clinton should have chosen to raise concern about the cost of travel for a Parliamentary conference in Belfast when his own seat is “nearly three times as expensive” as that booked by a Government Minister for the same event.
