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.

Abysmal, mindless, utterly zombified. You can't even call it policymaking because that implies a degree of thought which simply isn't present. Pretty soon they might actually hit Cameron's 'tens of thousands' target and then they'll shit themselves with horror at the consequences.
PM describes net migration of 205k as "a step in the right direction". His govt has no public position on a sustainable level of immigration is, nor any known process to decide what, why & how. Starmer is now implying he wants it significantly lower

Not saying that the EU wouldn't show some caution, but our membership is at much in their interests as it is ours. Of course they want us back in.
It's not negative, it's realistic. Why would the EU take us back after 10+yrs of being insulted and the possibility of another tory/reform gov to leave again? My optimistic future is a closer relationship leading, eventually, to candidate and then full membership

That's negative thinking - the kind of thinking that can turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy. I prefer to keep working for a more optimistic future, one that we won't have to wait so long to fulfil.

There are better ways to deal with the big issues. Finland is a fine example.
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
It costs a lot less to house people.
