Are you a Brit living in Spain with residency?
If you're only proof of that is the old green residency doc or card, then it's time to switch to the TIE, before EES is announced & there's a rush for appointments.
Failure to do so could seriously affect your ability to travel, & much more.

What Reform WILL tell you is that all the issues you may be facing - whether it's housing, the job market, cost of living, NHS waiting lists, unavailable doctors/dentists etc - are the fault of immigrants.
They are not. They are the fault of 14 years of Tory austerity & Brexit.

The point is: Not everything that's popular is "populism". Greens are on the rise for three main reasons:
1. They have a narrative.
2. They're arguing for classic Social Democratic and Euro-Green policies.
3. They're willing to speak up clearly against the far right.
Fabians used to welcome that.

I can’t read the article, but if it’s talking about the SPS agreement, the idea that a large and technically complex arrangement of this sort could be negotiated in a few months was never plausible. David Henig estimated 3 years to negotiate and at least one to implement. No quick fixes.
