Keir Starmer's government agreed in principle to a 700-page Gibraltar pact last year to ease post-Brexit borders, but opponents like Priti Patel call it a cover-up lacking firm sovereignty guarantees and allowing Spanish checks at key sites.

The Foreign Office promises parliamentary scrutiny, while Gibraltar's Chief Minister supports it for economic benefits, highlighting tensions between decolonization and strategic security.
