Holidaymakers travelling to a host of European destinations will need to apply through the new system and pay the €7 fee The entrance fee has been proposed as part of the European Travel Information and Authorisation System, which the EU insists is pri...

HO set targets for voluntary removal of illegal immigrants

    The Home Office did set targets for the voluntary removal of illegal immigrants, it has emerged. A 2015 inspection report shows the department set a target of 12,000 voluntary departures in 2015/16, up from 7,200 in 2014/15. The disclosure of the regional targets, split between 19 Immigration Compliance and Enforcement (ICE) teams across the UK, contradicts evidence given by Home Secretary Amber Rudd to Parliament on Wednesday. We don't have targets for removals, she told the Home Affairs Select Committee. If you are asking me if there are numbers of people we expect to be removed, that's not how we operate. Speaking after Ms Rudd's appearance, a spokesman for her department said it has never been Home Office policy to take decisions arbitrarily to meet a target....

It comes as Britain and the EU are deadlocked over how to ensure that there is no hard border between Ireland and Northern Ireland after Brexit. Mr Dodds told the Conservativehome website: If, as a result of the Brexit negotiations for instance, there was to be any suggestion that Northern Ireland would be treated differently in a way, for instance that we were part of a customs union and a single market and the rest of the UK wasn’t ... for us ...

Osama bin Laden guard living on benefits

    A former bodyguard of mass killer Osama bin Laden is being supported to live free in Germany at a cost to taxpayers of over £1,000 per month. Although classified as dangerous and forced to report to police every day, authorities claim Sami A. cannot be sent back to his Tunisian homeland because the risk of torture would be too high. He has already had his asylum application rejected by Germany and handed a deportation order. But the 42-year-old, who traveled to Afghanistan in the late 1990s to become a bodyguard for the architect of the 9/11 attacks, continues to stay in Germany after a court ruled he could face torture if deported. The admission in the regional parliament came after a question was posed by the the anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany (AfD) part...

Immigration scandal spreads beyond Windrush as new cases emerge

A spokesperson at the Canadian high commission said: To the best of our knowledge, the High Commission of Canada has not been contacted by any Canadians seeking assistance in matters related to Windrush. But Margaret O’Brien, 69, who moved to the UK from Canada in 19...

Banks Told by EU to Fix Their $96 Trillion Brexit Headache

    The European Union spurned U.K. calls for a legislative fix to the threat Brexit poses to trillions of dollars of financial contracts, telling banks and insurers to solve the problem themselves. Valdis Dombrovskis, the EU’s financial-services policy chief, said the private sector must take the lead in ensuring that existing contracts won’t be disrupted when the U.K. exits the EU. At issue are 96 trillion pounds ($134 trillion) of derivatives and tens of millions of insurance policies that U.K. regulators say might be thrown into disarray because firms could lose their ability to fulfill agreements with clients. So far we don’t see evidence that most of the issues couldn’t be solved by the private sector itself, Dombrovskis said in a Bloomberg TV interview on Tues...
