Trump warns UK it is ‘very dangerous’ to deepen ties with China

United States President Donald Trump has warned that it is “very dangerous” for Britain to deepen economic ties with China as UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer visits Beijing for talks with President Xi Jinping.

Asked about Britain “getting into business” with China, he replied that it was “very dangerous for them to do that.” Responding to questions about Trump’s remarks, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said China was willing to strengthen cooperation with all countries on the basis of mutual benefit and win win outcomes. Starmer’s trip is the first by a British prime minister to China since 2018 and follows visits by several Western leaders seeking to reset relations with Beijing. It is widely seen as part of a […]

UK clears plan for China’s biggest embassy in Europe

Britain has approved China’s plan to build its largest embassy in Europe on the Royal Mint Court site near the Tower of London, ending a three year planning deadlock. The decision comes despite warnings from some British and U.S. politicians that the complex could boost Chinese espionage activities in the UK.​ The government took over the planning process after the local council rejected Beijing’s application in 2022, and an inquiry was held last year to review the project. Officials said all material considerations were assessed and that the approval is now final unless overturned in court.​ The move is expected to smooth the way for Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s planned visit to China, the first by a British leader since 2018. Chinese President Xi Jinping had previously asked Starmer to intervene, and both sides viewed the embassy decision as key […]

Venezuela, Russia, China and UK voices urge US to free Maduro

Venezuela, Russia, China and political voices in the United Kingdom have called on the United States to release Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, after their capture in a US military operation over the weekend. At an emergency UN Security Council session in New York requested by Caracas, the Venezuelan government and its allies denounced the raid as a violation of the UN Charter and a dangerous precedent for the international order.​ Russia told the Council that the US action signalled a return to an era of lawlessness and domination by force, accusing Washington of acting as a self appointed global judge for political and economic gain. China said no country could claim to be the world’s police or international judge and warned that using military force as a solution would only deepen crises and erode the […]

Starmer cautious on legality of US action in Venezuela

Sir Keir Starmer has declined to say whether the United States’ military operation in Venezuela breached international law, stating that he is still awaiting full details of the action. Speaking on the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg programme on Saturday, the prime minister avoided condemning the US strikes, explaining that the situation was evolving and that key facts were still unclear.

He also said he had not yet discussed the operation with US President Donald Trump. Later the same day, the prime minister posted on […]

UK Police Search for Asylum Seeker Freed in Error

UK police are searching for an Ethiopian asylum seeker who was mistakenly released from prison after being convicted of sexual offenses. Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu, 38, was serving a one-year sentence for sexually assaulting a teenage girl and a woman. He was due to be deported but was incorrectly released due to a Prison Service error. Prime Minister Keir Starmer called the incident "totally unacceptable" and stated that the man "must be caught and deported for his crimes." Essex Police, leading the investigation, confirmed that Kebatu was last seen boarding a train to London. They are working with the Metropolitan Police and reviewing CCTV footage to locate him. The case had previously sparked anti-immigration protests in the Epping area, where Kebatu was housed in a hotel for asylum seekers. The father of the teenage victim said the justice system had "let […]

UK to Scrap Refugee Family Reunion and Settlement Rights

The UK government has announced plans to end the refugee family reunion scheme and remove automatic settlement rights for those granted asylum. Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated the reforms aim to create a "fairer system" where the path to permanent settlement is longer and must be "earned via contribution to the country." The family reunion route, which allowed refugees in the UK to bring close family members to join them, will be scrapped entirely. This route had issued nearly 21,000 visas in the past year, mostly to women and children. The government argues these changes will help curb record levels of immigration and deter dangerous Channel crossings. Under the new policy, refugees will no longer be granted immediate permanent residency and will lose the automatic right to reunite with their families. Critics, including the Refugee Council, warn that the move […]

UK PM Starmer to Review How Courts Apply Migrant Rights

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced a review of how British courts interpret international human rights laws. The goal is to manage immigration more effectively and increase the number of migrant deportations. In a BBC Radio interview, Starmer stated his government is analyzing the application of key international conventions, including those protecting refugees, preventing torture, and upholding children's rights. He emphasized that he believes in these agreements but that they must be applied to modern circumstances. "We need to look again at the interpretation of some of these provisions," Starmer said. He clarified he does not intend to "tear all that down," but to adapt their application in the face of what he called "mass migration." The Prime Minister specifically highlighted two articles of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR): Article 3, which prohibits torture. Starmer suggested a […]

UK to Tighten Rules for Migrants Seeking Permanent Stay

Migrants hoping to secure permanent residency in the UK will face stricter requirements under new plans to be unveiled by Interior Minister Shabana Mahmood on Monday. Currently, individuals with family ties who have lived in the UK for five years, or those legally residing in the country for 10 years on any visa, can qualify for “indefinite leave to remain.” This status allows them to live, work, study, claim benefits, and eventually apply for citizenship. But under the new proposals, applicants would need to meet tougher conditions. They must hold a job, pay social security contributions, claim no benefits, have a clean criminal record, and take part in community service. Proficiency in English will also be required. Mahmood is set to outline the plans at the ruling Labour Party’s annual conference, with a public consultation expected later this year. She […]
