Ivanka Trump parties with nepo baby model who made hateful claim against dad Donald
It seems as though Ivanka Trump doesn't hold a grudge, as the First Daughter was spotted partying with a nepo baby who previously made a hateful claim against her dad. Photographers caught the blonde beauty, 43, enjoying a night out in New York City with her husband, Jared Kushner, on Thursday evening. The couple attended the birthday celebration of his brother Joshua Kushner at Katz's Deli in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. They rubbed shoulders with a slew of famous faces at the party - including Cindy Crawford, her husband, Rande Gerber, and their model daughter Kaia Gerber. Kaia, 23, famously spoke out against Ivanka's father Donald Trump ahead of the 2024 election. She shared a strong-worded post to social media in October 2024 encouraging her followers to vote for his competition, Kamala Harris. The brunette beauty wrote at the time, 'In the words of Michelle Obama, "If we don't get this election right, your wife, your daughter, your mother, we as women will become collateral damage to your rage. So are you, as men, prepared to look into the eyes of the women you love and tell them you supported this assault?"' Kaia added, 'Right answers only. VOTE!!!!!!!' alongside a snap of her posing with her mail-in ballot that showed she had indeed voted for Kamala, as well as a collage of images of the former Vice President at a rally. Ivanka and Kaia seemed to put their past differences aside as they celebrated Joshua's birthday together in Manhattan. Katz's Deli is best known for being featured in the beloved 1989 film When Harry met Sally. It acted as the backdrop for the iconic scene where Meg Ryan 's character Sally faked an orgasm while sitting across from Billy Crystal's Harry, which was followed by the now-famous line: 'I'll have what she's having.' Ivanka flaunted her toned figure for the occasion, donning a tiny black gown that left her long legs on full display. The dress featured a plunging neckline, tight bodice and ruffled skirt. She accessorized with a black clutch, some flashy earrings, and strappy heeled sandals. Jared, for his part, wore some black trousers, blue sweater and black dress shoes. A bleary-eyed Ivanka walked hand-in-hand with her husband as they exited the acclaimed eatery. As for Kaia, she opted for a haltered, red, polka-dot midi dress and white flats that showcased her svelte physique. She shared a strong-worded post to social media in October 2024 encouraging her followers to vote for his competition, Kamala Harris Birthday boy Joshua, 40, donned black jeans, a white T-shirt, and an unbuttoned black shirt, while his wife, Karlie Kloss, 32, sported a chic black dress that had a thigh-high slit Cindy, 59, dressed casually for the party, opting for a pair of blue jeans and a black top that she tucked into the bottoms. Her husband Rande, 63, wore a black, button-down shirt, gray jeans, and matching gray sneakers. Cindy became one of the world's most popular supermodels in the '80s and '90s and Kaia has been following in her footsteps ever since. She has also dabbled in acting with roles in American Horror Story and the 2024 dark comedy Shell. Also at the party was Joshua's wife, Karlie Kloss, as well as musician Diplo and acclaimed fashion designer Diane Von Furstenberg. Birthday boy Joshua, 40, donned black jeans, a white T-shirt, and an unbuttoned black shirt, while his wife, 32, who is currently expecting her third child, sported a chic black dress that had off-the-shoulder sleeves and a thigh-high slit.

Reeves faces welfare revolt after Labour rebels rejected an 'olive branch' designed to head off a Commons mutiny over benefit cuts
was on collision course with Labour welfare rebels last night after they rejected an 'olive branch' designed to head off a Commons mutiny over benefit cuts. The Chancellor is facing a ferocious backlash from her own MPs over plans to trim £5 billion from the benefits bill. More than 100 Labour MPs have warned party whips they could vote against the plan to restrict eligibility to disability benefits. Ministers are trying to contain the rebellion by suggesting possible concessions. Under one proposal, those affected would continue to receive their benefits for a further 13 weeks to give them more time to find a job. The compromise is set to be included when the legislation needed to push through the cuts is published next week. But leading rebels dismissed the idea. Poole MP Neil Duncan-Jordan said the proposal was 'not a concession' as it was already included in a government consultation on the cuts. Mr Duncan-Jordan, a long-time anti-poverty campaigner, said the cuts would 'make disabled poorer'. He added: 'No amount of warm words mask the reality - cuts don't create jobs they create austerity. I'm voting No.' Fellow rebel Rachel Maskell said: 'I'll have to vote against something which will cause such harm to my constituents - too many lives will be put at risk if they press ahead.' Ms Reeves used the £5 billion package of benefit cuts to help balance the books when she gave her spring statement on the economy in March. Without them she would have been at risk of breaking her own fiscal rules set just five months earlier. Economists say the cuts will hit 1.2 million people, with those affected losing an average of around £4,500 per year each. The government's own impact assessment suggested the changes would drive 250,000 people into poverty, including 50,000 children. But Ms Reeves signalled she will not back down further, despite her recent U-turn on cuts to the winter fuel allowance. Ruling out a climb down, she said reform was needed to prevent the welfare system becoming unsustainable. 'It is important we reform the way the welfare state works so there is a welfare state there for people,' she said. 'We are the only developed country where the number of people in the labour market is lower than it was before Covid. The number of economically inactive people of working age is rising.' The Chancellor said sickness benefits are forecast to rise sharply despite the cuts, with official estimates suggesting they will reach almost £100 billion a year by the end of the decade.

Japan and US explored possibility of trade deal, Japan trade negotiator says
June 13 (Reuters) - Japan and the U.S. on Friday explored the possibility of a trade agreement, Japan's top tariff negotiator, Ryosei Akazawa, told a briefing, while refraining from commenting how close they are to reaching a deal. "We had a very detailed exchange and explored the possibility of a trade agreement," Akazawa told reporters after he met with U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick separately in Washington in a sixth round of tariff negotiations. It is likely to be the last round before Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba and U.S. President Donald Trump are to meet in Canada on the sidelines of the Group of Seven leaders' summit, where Japan has been hoping to clinch a deal. Akazawa refrained from commenting on whether the talks have matured enough to reach an agreement, saying a deal is possible only when the leaders of both countries approve everything as a package. He also declined to comment on the chance of Ishiba and Trump reaching an agreement at their upcoming meeting. Japan faces a 24% tariff rate starting in July unless it can negotiate a deal with the U.S. It is also scrambling to find ways to get Washington to exempt its automakers from 25% tariffs on automobiles, Japan's biggest industry.
