Chief minister proposes tighter immigration checks for Jersey
Deputy Lyndon Farnham said it would address the gap in the security of Jersey's borders and it would "implement a more rigorous approach to people traveling to Jersey without a visa". He said: "In the same way as for countries like the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, before a person travels to Jersey, they will need to apply for permission where aspects of any criminality must be provided through self- declaration."

Donald Trump spotted with son Eric at luxury Turnberry resort during five-day Scotland visit
DONALD Trump has been spotted playing golf at his luxury Turnberry resort this morning alongside his son Eric. The US President, 79, arrived aboard Air Force One at around 8.30pm last night for his five-day private visit to Bonnie Scotland. 1 After waving to the crowds, he met the welcoming committee, which included Scottish Secretary Ian Murray. He was then whisked away in his armoured motorcade to his exclusive Turnberry golf resort on the Ayrshire coast. Villagers waved as the convoy passed through nearby Kirkoswald and later arrived at the resort at around 9.30pm. And he has wasted no time in taking to the green after being seen teeing off at the luxury resort this morning. Donning a white USA baseball cap, he has been joined by his son Eric as he enjoys the Turnberry's Ailsa course.

Woman turned away from Wetherspoons for wearing Union Jack dress ‘absolutely disgusted' over policy
A WOMAN sporting a Union Jack dress was turned away from a Wetherspoon's pub amid anti-immigration protests. Tanya Ostolski said she had been refused service from The Picture House in Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire for her patriotic style on Friday. 2 2 At first the 54-year-old said she was refused entry for carrying a St George's cross flag. However, even after she'd put the flag in her bag, they still refused to let her in which she said was attributed to her Union Jack dress. It has left her concerned that she might be barred in future. She told Nottinghamshire Live: "It's our flag, it's our nation's flag. I wasn't being aggressive or anything, I didn't get lairy or anything. "I put the flag back in my bag, and they said I can't come in because of my dress." Wetherspoon spokesperson Eddie Gershon said: "Pub managers have a duty under the licensing laws, and as a matter of common sense, to judge every situation on its particular circumstances. 'In this case, the pub manager felt that it was important not to increase tensions. 'Therefore, on this occasion the manager asked customers not to enter with flags or any placards.' It came amid an anti-illegal immigration demonstration in the town, as protesters gathered 50 metres away from the pub. Protests began at around 4.30pm and had ended by around 7pm. 'Epping migrant protester' is arrested at home as ring of steel ramps up They were sparked by local Reform MP Lee Anderson who has made an unfounded claim that a man charged with rape in the area is an asylum seeker. The claim regards a man who was arrested after reportedly raping a woman at Sutton Lawn. Anderson made the claims on X, despite being advised against it by Nottinghamshire Police as it could interfere with the justice proceedings. An estimated 300 people attended the protest, with around a dozen counter protesters from Stand Up To Racism present. Anger was directed towards Sir Keir Starmer, with people chanting "stop the boats". At one point in the evening, police guarded the entrance to the Wetherspoon pub after protesters like Tanya complained about being turned away. The popular pub chain's "no-flag policy" has seen it face backlash in the past. During the 2018 World Cup it faced backlash after several of its venues were asked not to display England flags, or any other nation's flag. Instead, all 32 nations were represented on bunting decorating the pubs. This policy was changed for the 2024 Euros, during which the pubs were permitted to display flags.

Security operation under way on first full day of Trump's visit to Scotland
A major security operation is under way on the first full day of US President Donald Trump's visit to Scotland. The President is expected to take to the greens on the golf course at the Trump Turnberry resort, which he bought back in 2014. Ahead of that, a large number of police and military personnel have been spotted searching the grounds at the venue in South Ayrshire. Various road closures have been put in place, with limited access for both locals and members of the media. Mr Trump is staying at Turnberry for the start of a five-day private visit to Scotland which will see him have talks with both UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Scottish First Minister John Swinney. A meeting has also been scheduled for him to talk about trade with European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen on Sunday. With no talks apparently scheduled for Saturday, the President – a well-known golf enthusiast – appears to be free to play the famous Turnberry course. However, protests have been planned, with opponents of Mr Trump expected to gather in both Edinburgh and Aberdeen later on Saturday, with the Stop Trump coalition planning what it has described as being a 'festival of resistance'. As well as visiting Trump Turnberry, Mr Trump will head to Aberdeenshire later in his visit and is expected to open a second course at his golf resort in Balmedie. As he landed in Ayrshire on Friday, the President took questions from journalists, telling Europe to 'get your act together' on immigration, which he said was 'killing' the continent. He also praised Sir Keir, who he described as a 'good man', but added that the UK Prime Minister is 'slightly more liberal than I am'. Saturday will be the first real test of Police Scotland during the visit as it looks to control the demonstrations in Aberdeen and Edinburgh, as well as any which spring up near to the president's course. The force has asked for support from others around the UK to bolster officer numbers, with both organisations representing senior officers and the rank-and-file claiming there is likely to be an impact on policing across the country for the duration of the visit. Before the visit started, Mr Swinney appealed to Scots to protest 'peacefully and within the law'.
