GB News: 'It's not complicated!' Labour sparks fresh migrant outrage as Treasury admits hotels will remain for 'years': 'It's an incentive'
The UK Labour Government faces pressure to adopt an "Australian" approach to illegal migration as the Treasury acknowledges that migrant hotels will remain for years, contrary to election promises. Concerns have been raised over companies profiting from housing migrants amid ongoing global instability.
Political commentator Will Kingston argues that keeping migrant hotels open incentivizes more crossings, suggesting that a stricter policy, similar to Australia's, could effectively reduce illegal migration. The cost of housing asylum seekers has surged, with current expenses reaching £5.5 million daily.

Fox News: Byron Donalds leads bipartisan effort to punish federal workers for failure to report foreign gifts
Reps. Byron Donalds and Jared Golden have introduced the GARD Act to enhance transparency regarding foreign gifts to U.S. government officials. The bill expands the definition of a "foreign" gift and imposes stricter reporting requirements, including fines for late submissions.
The GARD Act mandates the State Department to publish foreign gift disclosures within 30 days and extends reporting obligations to gifts received by relatives of officials. This bipartisan effort aims to address concerns over foreign influence amid ongoing discussions of potential higher office bids by both lawmakers.
The Mirror: MPs to get pay rise boost as salaries to hit near six figures
MPs will receive a 2.8% pay increase for the next financial year, raising their salaries to £93,904 by 2025-26. This rise aligns with the public sector pay uplift, which includes NHS staff and teachers, as confirmed by the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority (IPSA).
The announcement has sparked backlash from unions representing public sector workers, who argue the increase is insufficient and unfunded, potentially leading to cuts in public services. Concerns have been raised about the impact on staff morale and the possibility of strikes if the issues are not addressed.

Times Of Israel: Houthis say one killed, 13 injured as US airstrikes pound Yemen overnight
U.S. airstrikes against Yemen's Houthi rebels continued into a second week, targeting various sites including the capital, Sanaa. The Houthis reported casualties from a strike in Sanaa, including one death and multiple injuries. The U.S. has not disclosed specific targets but claims to have struck key Houthi leadership and facilities.
The airstrikes began after the Houthis threatened maritime trade linked to Israel and have escalated following renewed conflict in Gaza. The Houthis have been involved in attacks on shipping routes since late 2023, raising their profile amid ongoing economic struggles and internal repression.
