Tuesday, 24 June 2025 () A £51m border control post built to handle post-Brexit checks on imports will sit empty for now, Wales's deputy first minister said.
The UK has agreed a deal with the EU for a fluid Gibraltar-Spain border, avoiding checks on people crossing. Gibraltar and Spanish officials will carry out joint checks at the airport, while goods will move freely across the land border. Foreign Secretary David Lammy called it “historic” after years of post-Brexit talks. Report by Covellm.

On May 19, the UK and EU signed a pivotal trade deal aimed at slashing post-Brexit barriers in food, drink, and small business exports. UK-EU trade has suffered since Brexit, with UK exports to the EU down 9% and imports down 18% since 2019. The new agreement reduces costly red tape and opens access to the EU’s £150 billion defense fund, offering a boost to UK aerospace. With U.S. tariffs on UK goods still in place, Britain is shifting focus back to the EU for stability and economic resilience.
