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.
For the second day in a row this week, the Frontier Queues to leave Gibraltar have been horrendous. The RGP's latest tweet at around 13:40 states that the queues are "Tail end by Winston Churchill Avenue. Estimated time: 4 hours".
Yesterday evening, around 19:00 there was an incident in Morrison's Supermarket here in Gibraltar. The Royal Gibraltar Police were called to the scene to try to resolve the issue, and reportedly several individuals were arrested at the time.
A spokesperson from the RGP has issued the following statement:
