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 GSD says that the assertion by Government that the GSD Opposition is more concerned about pandering to the anti-vax lobby than protecting children is an “outrageous lie typical of a Government that only knows that style in defending itself.”
The Government says that “no amount of smokescreens” will cloud the fact that Mr Clinton has “embarrassingly put his foot in it” over travel arrangements made by Parliamentarians when travelling as part of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA). Number Six says the situation must also be “politically embarrassing” for his colleagues too, who, it says, now have no choice but to defend him in public, but they are all well aware that exactly the same system has operated for decades and that nothing has changed.
