GB News: Jenrick warns Britons they face ‘two-tier justice under two-tier Keir’ if Labour refuse to back law
Robert Jenrick has criticized Labour's lack of support for his proposed bill aimed at preventing what he calls "two-tier justice," which would arise from new sentencing guidelines focusing on ethnic minority backgrounds. He argues that these guidelines could lead to unequal treatment in the justice system.
Jenrick's bill would empower the government to block or rewrite sentencing guidelines deemed unfair, challenging the independence of the Sentencing Council. Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood has also expressed concerns and suggested she may introduce legislation to overrule the council if necessary. The new guidelines are set to take effect in April.
Fox News: Senate to take up Trump spending bill as clock ticks down to government shutdown
The Senate will hold a crucial procedural vote on a stopgap government spending bill on Friday to prevent a shutdown. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer announced his support for the House-passed continuing resolution, while some Democrats oppose it, citing concerns over the Trump Administration's spending.
If the bill does not pass by 11:59 p.m. Friday, the government will enter a partial shutdown, affecting non-essential services but maintaining essential functions like national security. The outcome of the vote will determine if a final passage vote can occur soon after.
Fox News: DAVID MARCUS: Independent media balances out the hate at WH briefings
The inclusion of independent media outlets in White House press briefings has shifted the tone from confrontational to more substantive discussions. Unlike during Trump's first term, when traditional media dominated with critical questioning, the current environment allows for a broader spectrum of voices, including conservative perspectives.
This change aims to restore trust in journalism, which has been eroded due to perceived bias. By allowing diverse viewpoints, the White House is fostering a more balanced dialogue, potentially benefiting public understanding of policies.
Le Monde: Germany’s Merz achieves breakthrough on massive spending plan
Germany's CDU party has reached an agreement with the Greens on a significant spending plan, which includes exempting defense spending from the debt brake and establishing a €500 billion infrastructure fund. This deal is crucial for securing the necessary parliamentary majority.
The agreement comes after intense negotiations, with the Greens initially hesitant due to environmental concerns. CDU leader Friedrich Merz indicated that part of the infrastructure fund could be allocated for climate protection initiatives.
Breitbart: Exclusive: Rep. Brandon Gill Proposes Barring Foreign Adversaries from Buying American Farmland
Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) has introduced the Land and National Defense Act, aimed at preventing foreign adversaries, particularly the Chinese Communist Party, from purchasing U.S. farmland. The legislation seeks to impose restrictions similar to those foreign countries have on American land purchases.
Currently, foreign entities own nearly 46 million acres of U.S. agricultural land without restrictions. The USDA is exploring federal solutions to address this issue, while several states have already enacted laws to block such purchases.
Fox News: The Hitchhiker's Guide to avoiding a government shutdown tonight
The Senate is set to hold a crucial test vote around 2 p.m. ET today to break a filibuster on the Republican stopgap spending bill. This vote is essential to prevent a government shutdown, which would occur if the filibuster is not broken by the deadline of 12:00:01 a.m. ET Saturday.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has indicated support for the bill, but Democrats need to secure eight votes to reach the necessary 60. If the filibuster is broken, a vote on the actual bill may follow later today, though some Democrats might push for amendments before committing their support.

Breitbart: UK Financial Regulators Abandon Plans for Additional DEI Rules
Britain's top financial regulators, the Prudential Regulation Authority and the Financial Conduct Authority, have abandoned plans for new diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) requirements, citing concerns over regulatory burdens and competitiveness. They will support voluntary initiatives instead.
This shift reflects a broader global trend influenced by former President Trump's anti-woke stance, leading many corporations to retract DEI programs. The Labour Party's plans for DEI reporting standards prompted regulators to avoid duplicating regulations that could hinder firms.
