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.
We’ve all heard of horse meat in burgers but what about a live horse in a burger joint? That’s exactly what happened in a Greater Manchester branch of McDonald’s when a woman turned up riding a horse up their drive-through lane.
Gibraltar is currently competing in international Jewish athletic competition, the Maccabiah. The event is organised by the Maccabi Federation and is open to Jewish athletes and other Israeli athletes, regardless of religion.
This year’s games are being held in Jerusalem at Teddy Stadium. The event is separated into three separate competitions including ‘open’, ‘Juniors’ and ‘Masters’.
In response to the Chief Minister’s letter to David Cameron following last month’s jet ski incident, Mr Picardo has now received a reply from the Prime Minister.
In his letter, Mr Cameron says that he ‘was very concerned by reports of the incursion and that he raised this directly with the Prime Minister of Spain.
