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.

My secret evil plot to ‘destroy Britain’ has been unveiled by (checks notes) the same paper that endorsed Liz Truss.

If I don’t know better I’d say we’ve got them entirely rattled.

I hope you are right, but feel a lot is going to change once EES is up & running, especially the chances of anyone overstaying their 90 days in 180.

Must protect the local environment, especially the view of wealthy landowners, but won't protect the wider environment/the planet.
So instead, do nothing. The answer to everything.
Is it any wonder the UK is lagging so far behind?

B&NES Council’s planning committee has blocked plans for a major solar farm, despite the local authority declaring a climate emergency

Planning committee member Councillor Paul Crossley (Southdown, Liberal Democrat) said the scheme was “just far too large, far too impactful on the rural landscape.”

Plans for major solar farm near Bath refused over landscape harm

People in neighbouring Burnett said their landscape would be “blighted with an industrial scale eyesore”.

On average, every 4 years, the ECHR stops the UK removing 1 foreign person.

They want you to demand we leave the ECHR because of this.

Immigrants migrate to areas where they have family, friends, or citizens from the country they left behind, where there are shops that sell goods/foods they are familiar with. It's the same all over the world.
They also migrate to places within their price range - often poorer, more deprived areas.

Wow. Robert Jenrick doubles down by branding a black journalist's questions "ridiculous" and saying that the problem is not his comments, but "journalists like you who pop up and try to knock me down", adding that "this is the reason why terrorist attacks happen". ~AA

A thread 🧵

So what do we mean by the 90-in-180-day problem?

1. We don’t mean the total number of days is necessarily the problem.

The problem is the control period of 180 days, the fact it has to be shared across 29 different countries and the fact it is not a per-visit allowance.

🚄 Brexit means Britain’s left off the map and cut off.

The EU is launching a Europe-wide high-speed rail network: 49,400 km linking every capital and major city at 250–350 km/h.

It’s the future of green travel and connection.

And we’re not on it 🙏 to #brexit.
