Ever since the UK left the EU, talks have been going on with all parties to resolve the issues for Gibraltar - which barely register in the UK. They're still unresolved as BBC's @Hedgecoe finds. Listen here -bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0025k… Pick of the radio in Guardian + Sunday Times

Will @sanchezcastejon resign as Spain’s Prime Minister? He’s spent the 5 past days thinking about it. Spanish politics can get very personal and poisonous. Too much? PM Sanchez will make an announcement at 1200 CET Follow Bbc @Hedgecoe live from Madrid.

Para los jóvenes de mi generación, vivir con una familia era una de las experiencias más enriquecedoras para acercarse a la cultura de otro país. Esta semana, gracias a esta carta publicada por el @IrishTimes con la complicidad de @SimonHarrisTD, me ha venido a la memoria el recuerdo de Breda y los Clarke, esa entrañable familia irlandesa que me acogió como a uno más en su hogar. Europa también es esto. Me encantaría volver a veros, en Irlanda, o en España.😉

In @irishtimes, a message for @sanchezcastejon. "Pedro Sánchez stayed in our home in Dublin as a teenager to learn English. My mam and family have fond memories of this. My mam was very proud to see him do so well and would love to tell him this." irishtimes.com/politics/2024…

Así hasta cuando? Cuál es la justificación de esta actuación tan violenta? El acoso y la violencia policial en lavapiés no tiene nombre. Espero que @interiorgob @policia @DefensorPuebloE tomen medidas antes de que sea tarde.

Shane MacGowan, Irish singer-songwriter and The Pogues frontman has sadly passed away. He formed the Irish punk band Pogue Mahone, later shortened to The Pogues, in 1982 and released seven studio albums. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

Why are protesters in Spain making comparisons to the current political situation there with the civil war in the 1930s? Hear @Hedgecoe on the fall out from PM Pedro Sanchez's decision to grant amnesty to Catalan nationalists in return for their support #Spain 3/5
