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.

Excellent piece on the Bylines network by @garygilligan.bsky.social - there is a real chance that Reform might win the next general election, and it is critical that people know what it is they are voting for. Judging by their councils so far, that seems to be broken promises and rising bills.

Fascinating that Nick Robinson names Robbie Gibb as the instigator of the coup at the BBC

He was promoted to ensure that Brexit went ahead

He is the sort of shadowy character who is essential to the unpicking of democracy

This should be the end of his time on the BBC board

So very sad, that the veterans fought for freedom and peace across Europe, and they now feel it was for nothing that all those lives were lost, and others suffered

"With the economy weakened by Brexit, this is a dangerous time for the chancellor to start raising taxes"

Doesn't that rather depend on which taxes are being raised?
But either way, Brexit cannot be ignored, & won't be at the next election.

That means getting rid of Labour’s red lines.
Funny how Reeves is allegedly contemplating breaking their red lines on tax rises but Brexit red lines appear to be sacrosanct.
The insanity of it all does my head in, frankly.

Closer ties would be a good first step, but rejoin must be the goal.
Of course the EU would want us back - it's in their interests too as, despite everything, we are still one of the planet's largest economies.
Not saying they wouldn't be cautious, but that shouldn't tempter our ambitions.
Simply rejoin is not an option. EU would drive a hard bargain and maybe wouldn't even want us!. Let's start with closer ties first

Any concessions agreed as part of Starmer's so-called 'reset' will come at a price.
Surely it would be better to pay more & get much more back in return, not least our EU citizenship?

"By a whopping two-to-one margin, voters now favor the pre-Brexit immigration system to the one that has taken shape since leaving the EU."

Even among Reform UK voters, more wish they could go back to pre-2021 migration rules! ~AA

Brits are pining for the pre-Brexit migration system
The idea was that leaving the bloc would give the U.K. back “control” of its borders and create a fairer system. But the widespread perception is it didn’t turn out that way.
