A GB News presenter criticised Labour’s new immigration proposal requiring refugees to pay £10,000 toward accommodation, calling it performative and unlikely to be repaid.

Prince Harry’s planned July visit to the UK with his family is reportedly in jeopardy after the government refused his request for taxpayer‑funded police protection outside royal properties.

A source said the trip is now uncertain, despite the King offering accommodation on a royal estate.
