Public figures sign open letter calling for scheme to be moved from Home Office to independent body
The prime minister and the home secretary have been urged to remove the Windrush compensation scheme from Home Office control.
About 70 public figures have signed an open letter backing a call by the Windrush Justice Community Collective (WJCC) for a radical overhaul of the scheme, which was set up to compensate those, mainly Black Britons, who were wrongly classed as illegal migrants and stripped of citizenship rights over decades.

They are calling on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to release women under 21, women with medical conditions and mothers. They are also demanding improved conditions inside the facility and for their immigration cases to proceed more quickly.

Former street seller celebrates newfound rights after debacle in claiming €500,000 scratchcard prize while undocumented
A Nigerian man who won €500,000 in an Italian lottery – but was barred from collecting his windfall because he was undocumented – said the hardship of his more than decade-long immigration journey had been eased after he was finally granted a residency permit.
“I’ve been praying for this moment ever since I arrived in Italy,” said Imagbe Ehizomwengie, 36. “It’s a huge relief. You might think it’s incredible, but receiving the permit means more to me than winning the money. I want to work and contribute to society.”

Pope Leo XIV landed in Spain's Canary Islands, an epicenter for incoming migrants seeking entry into Europe, on Thursday just days after criticizing the country's immigration policies in a speech to Spain's Parliament.
Pope Leo will meet with 1,000 migrants on Friday to cap off his apostolic journey to Spain, the European country with the sixth largest Christian population on the continent.
Following his parliamentary speech Monday in which he took aim at Europe's immigration polices, Pope Leo landed Thursday on the island chain's Gran Canaria, according to Reuters.
On Thursday he met with migrants and leaders of international organizations that assist migrants, holding a moment of silence for migrants who died trying to reach Gran Canaria at Port of Arguineguin, a dock which made headlines in 2020 after over 1,000 migrants ended up stranded there during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Relief organizations came to call the Port of Arguineguin the "Dock of Shame" after the migrant crisis, a theme Pope Leo seemed to pick up on while speaking at the port Thursday.
"Dear migrants, before saying anything else to you, I want to bow before your dignity," the pope said. "You are not just numbers or files. You are people who have left behind families and homes. You have dreams that no one has the right to despise," Pope Leo said at the dock.
"We cannot grow accustomed to counting the dead," he added.
POPE LEO CALLS FOR CHRISTIANS TO TREAT FOREIGNERS WITH KINDNESS AS HE CLOSES CATHOLIC HOLY YEAR
He also called for "legal and safe pathways" for immigration worldwide.
Located less than 100 miles off the coast of West Africa, Gran Canaria has been the destination for thousands of Africans, many of whom have lost their lives attempting to traverse the volatile waters in small boats.
Over 3,000 people died trying to make the journey in 2025 alone, according to the non-governmental organization (NGO) Caminando Fronteras.
The Canaries have seen a massive uptick in migrant entries since 2015. In 2024 the archipelago broke records with 46,843 irregular migrants compared to under 1,000 in 2015, according to Reuters.
Speaking to media at Pope Leo's event, a boat captain who assists charities and NGOs in ferrying migrants said he had personally helped save over 20,000 migrants in the last 18 years, Reuters reported.
"It's a number that makes me sick and that you cannot forget," the captain, Tito Villarmea, told Reuters. "I wish we didn't have to save anyone," he continued.
Under Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, Spain's socialist government has liberalized the country's policies on migration, approving a plan in April to grant 500,000 undocumented migrants legal status.
Spain's conservative lawmakers, meanwhile, fired back after Pope Leo's Monday speech to Parliament.
During his address to lawmakers, Pope Leo called migration a "tragic drama" and said discrimination against people based on "national, ethnic, religious or linguistic origin, or because of their economic or social status" was a violation of the "universal principle of the equal dignity of all human beings."

But Santiago Abascal, who heads Spain's conservative Vox party, countered making a point that Vatican City has policies against illegal immigration as well.
"I like the Vatican state's migration policy. If someone enters illegally or with violence, they are fined, imprisoned and banned from entry. I would like a similar migration policy for Spain," Abascal told reporters Monday.

Sobre el lento desenmascaramiento del orden liberal y el descubrimiento, bastante incómodo, de que el emperador lo sabía desde el principio

Hay algo casi infantil en la fascinación que parte de Occidente ha desarrollado por el lema de la alianza de naciones europeas. Sin embargo, la realidad revela que se trata más bien de un consorcio militar-financiero que intenta preservar una hegemonía que ya empieza a escapársele de las manos.
La guerra de Ucrania, en términos generales, no hizo sino acelerar un proceso que llevaba décadas en marcha. Europa se percató, algo tarde, de que el monopolio político, económico y cultural construido después de 1945 comenzaba a mostrar fisuras irreversibles. China, Rusia, India, Irán e incluso las potencias medianas comprendieron algo que Bruselas y Davos nunca han llegado a admitir del todo: que el orden internacional liberal nunca fue universal. Se trataba, más bien, de la universalización forzada de los intereses de Washington, disfrazada con el sentimental lenguaje del humanitarismo.
Aquí reside la ironía central de nuestra época. Los mismos países que pasaron décadas predicando la soberanía relativa, la gobernanza global y la responsabilidad internacional ahora redescubren frenéticamente el valor de las fronteras, del patriotismo industrial y de la autonomía estratégica. La globalización cumplió su propósito mientras consolidó su supremacía. En el momento en que comenzó a beneficiar a rivales civilizacionales, se convirtió en una amenaza existencial, y he aquí que el viejo instinto territorial resurgió rápidamente, ese mismo instinto que durante años se había tratado como un síntoma de atraso provinciano y, en casos más graves, como evidencia de algún tipo de psicopatología colectiva.
El conflicto actual, por consiguiente, trasciende con creces la dimensión militar y se adentra en el terreno antropológico, ese terreno sobre el que la hoja de cálculo del consultor de Davos no explica absolutamente nada. Por un lado, Occidente posmoderno se transformó en una máquina burocrática de disolución cultural, un bloque político incapaz de defender su propia memoria histórica y, sin embargo, deseoso de exportar compulsivamente la política de identidad al resto del planeta. Por otro lado, los países que han comprendido algo bastante elemental que Aristóteles ya había descrito siglos antes de que existieran los consultores de ESG, (Environmental, Social and Governance (Ambiental, Social y Gobernanza evalúan el desempeño ambiental, social y de gobernanza de una empresa, determinando su sostenibilidad y capacidad de generar valor a largo plazo) a saber, que los pueblos sobreviven gracias a la preservación de la identidad, la continuidad histórica y la cohesión simbólica
Rusia lo comprendió pronto, China aún antes, y ambas percibieron que el liberalismo occidental había dejado de funcionar como modelo económico para convertirse en una especie de religión negativa, fundada en la deconstrucción permanente de los lazos orgánicos. La familia se convierte en opresión, la nación en prejuicio, la religión en atraso, la masculinidad en peligro, la frontera en violencia moral, en una lista cada vez más extensa de aquello que debe ser pulverizado en nombre de un progreso que nadie es capaz de definir con precisión. No es casualidad que Occidente contemporáneo produzca riqueza material y depresión espiritual con igual eficiencia industrial.
Y, sin embargo, lo más curioso de todo es observar cómo la prensa internacional insiste en narrarlo todo a través de la vieja lente moral de la Guerra Fría. Democracia contra autoritarismo, libertad contra tiranía, civilización contra barbarie: he aquí la caricatura que ya no convence ni siquiera al ciudadano europeo o estadounidense medio, a ese ciudadano común que mira Londres, París o Los Ángeles y se da cuenta, sin necesidad de un diploma de Harvard, de que quizás el colapso viene desde dentro. La crisis migratoria europea es solo el síntoma visible, amigos. El verdadero problema es mucho más profundo y, además, resulta considerablemente más embarazoso, pues Europa se ha cansado de sí misma, ha perdido el instinto civilizatorio básico de la supervivencia, ha transformado la culpa histórica en política de Estado, ha sustituido la identidad por la administración tecnocrática y ha cambiado la pertenencia por el consumo
Mientras tanto, el establishment occidental responde de la única manera que conoce: con censura, vigilancia y propaganda moralizante. Toda disidencia se convierte en una amenaza para la democracia, toda crítica al globalismo en extremismo, toda resistencia cultural en radicalización, y los regímenes supuestamente liberales han llegado a depender abiertamente de mecanismos antiliberales para su supervivencia política, en un espectáculo que avergonzaría incluso a Carl Schmitt.
La máscara se cayó durante la pandemia, se cayó de nuevo con la guerra y se cayó definitivamente en medio de la creciente desesperación de las élites globalistas enfrentadas al surgimiento de cualquier fuerza mínimamente soberanista.
El ciudadano medio, el de a pie, por consiguiente, ha comenzado a considerar una hipótesis bastante herética: que la mayor amenaza a la libertad contemporánea quizás no provenga de Moscú ni de Pekín, sino del propio aparato burocrático-financiero que gobierna Occidente en nombre de la democracia, neutralizando elecciones, censurando opiniones y redefiniendo los conceptos básicos de la realidad mediante una ingeniería semántica permanente. El nuevo orden mundial, por lo tanto, prescinde del modelo del imperio formal. Bastará con algo mucho más sofisticado: un régimen administrado por conglomerados financieros, plataformas digitales, organismos transnacionales y estructuras de inteligencia capaces de moldear el comportamiento humano a escala industrial, preservando al mismo tiempo la estética de la libertad.
Y quizás sea precisamente esto lo que explique el creciente pánico en Occidente. Por primera vez en décadas, el resto del mundo ha comenzado a darse cuenta de que el emperador está desnudo. Lo más triste de todo, sin embargo, es que el emperador siempre lo supo. Simplemente contaba con que nadie lo mirara, y así no se den cuenta.

Government confirms Jarvis’s move from role as security minister to replace John Healey
Ryan Henderson, assistant chief constable for the Police Service of Northern Ireland, is about to hold a press conference about last night’s rioting.
Andy Burnham is facing criticism after saying that he thinks the Waspi women should be entitled to “some” compensation.
I’ll stick by the Waspi women because they deserve some recompense for the unfairness.
One government figure decried Burnham’s intervention as “pathetic”, adding: “He can’t say no to anyone.”
An ally of Sir Keir Starmer likened Burnham’s economic agenda to that of hard-left former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, and argued that the mayor’s intervention would harm his chances of manoeuvring the prime minister out of Downing Street.
Andy Burnham’s continued support for Waspi women is both welcome and hugely refreshing. While some politicians have broken their promises, it takes real courage to speak out and say what millions of people across the country and hundreds of MPs from all parties already know - that 1950s-born women deserve justice.
Andy has always recognised the unfair way in which state pension equalisation was introduced.
As mayor of Greater Manchester, he supported Waspi women in the city-region with early access to concessionary travel, providing some recompense to them within affordability limits.

Trial of former New York City comptroller is ‘another example of the Trump administration’s suppression of political dissent’, lawyer argues
The trial against senior New York City Democrat Brad Lander, stemming from his arrest during an attempt to inspect rooms holding detained immigrants, involved six hours of litigating elevator logistics in Manhattan federal court on Wednesday.
Lander, the former city comptroller now vying for Democratic incumbent Dan Goldman’s congressional district, which encompasses lower Manhattan and north-west Brooklyn, was taken into custody on 18 September last year at 26 Federal Plaza.
