If the EU is sensible it will wish to maximise the contribution the UK makes and the access they have to our market.

"Gibraltar is not for sale.
Gibraltar cannot be traded.
Gibraltar will not be bargained away."
Good to speak to #Gibraltar Chief Minister @FabianPicardo. As ever, the UK remains implacable & rock-like in our support for Gibraltar
