The Prime Minister has dismissed suggestions of a possible Military Conflict between britain and spain over the future of gibraltar. Yesterday, the former conservative leader Michael Howard Drew Parallels with the battle over the falklands in 1982. It follows a suggestion by the eu that any brexit deal will apply to gibraltar only if spain agrees. Theresa may was speaking on a visit to the middle east. 0ur deputy Political Editor john pienaar is travelling with her. Theresa may is out to show britain will still be a big, Global Player after brexit. Standing by friends, old allies like jordan, and confronting enemies. She came here with promises of Military Training but today she also had to scotch any suggestion those enemies might include spain which claims gibraltar as its own. Negotiation, not war, was the answer. We are focusing on talking with the rest of the eu, starting the formal negotiations, and ensuring that, at the end of those negotiations, we see a result that will be in the interests of the uk and in the interests of gibraltar. Actually i think it will be in the interests of the 27 Member States of the European Union as well. Being the face of british Power Is Serious Work but mrs may had laughed out loud earlier when reporters asked her to rule out war with spain over gibraltar. Another Prime Minister, churchill, famously preferred jaw jaw to war war. Did she . Definitely, jaw jaw, she said. But gibraltar, famous ape population and all, has been coveted by spain for centuries. The rocks freedom to levy lower taxes is resented by madrid, which wants a say in gibraltars future after brexit, not if those in charge now have any say in it. Gibraltar is not a Bargaining Chip in these negotiations. Gibraltar belongs to the gibraltarians and we want to stay british. Nothing is going to change that. Nobody is going to gut our soul by taking away our british sovereignty. The row over the rock is another brexit complication. Every eu state has to approve the brexit deal but spain was taken aback after a senior tory compared the row to the Falklands War in the 1980s. Translation it is obvious that in this case europe and gibraltar the traditional, british phlegm has been noteable for its absence. Today, theresa may calmed the tone of a dispute which had tilted into farce. The notion of a war with spain was always wildly implausible but that dispute goes on and britain will need all the goodwill it can get if it is to get a good deal on brexit. The mission of developing relations outside the European Union is vital. The Prime Minister will carry on with that mission tomorrow. There will be more cash to help jordans rulers to cope with a massive influx of refugees fleeing syria. The next stop is saudi arabia. It has a Human Rights Record that makes for a far less comfortable relationship. Police have arrested and bailed two fifteen year old boys who were observed climbing over barriers to the grounds of the Palace Of Westminster on saturday afternoon the boys did not gain access to the building and the trespass lasted around thirty seconds.
