Minister: Gary Lineker's comments were wrong and inflammator
When asked for his reaction to the BBC's Gary Lineker's likening of the migrant bill to Nazi Germany, Robert Jenrick says they were "wrong and inflammatory".
The immigration minister calls on Lineker to explain his remarks, saying they are "out of step with public opinion" and that the government is "acting on behalf of the British public" by bringing the Illegal Immigration Bill to the Commons on Tuesday to crack down on small boats crossing the Channel.

Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick says Labourâs plan to boost defence spending isnât believable unless action is taken now. He welcomed the governmentâs pledge to spend 2.5% of GDP on defence, but said it must reach 3% by the end of this Parliament, not in 2034. Jenrick criticised Chancellor Rachel Reeves, saying she has already broken key promises and questioned how the extra funding would be found. Report by Covellm.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has launched a scathing attack on French President Emmanuel Macron and German opposition leader Friedrich Merz, accusing them of attempting to revive Europe's imperialist past. Speaking at a diplomatic event, Lavrov warned that Western leaders were reverting to their âformer instinctsâ of conquest and domination, drawing chilling comparisons between todayâs political climate and Nazi-era atrocities.
He further stated that âGerman and Ukrainian Nazis are united by their attitudes toward those they want to enslave,â claiming that just as some âburned Jews,â others now âburn Russians.â Lavrovâs remarks come amid intensifying tensions between Moscow and the West over the war in Ukraine, NATO expansion, and growing European militarization.
The inflammatory comments are expected to draw condemnation from European capitals but are in line with Russiaâs narrative of positioning itself as a bulwark against Western hegemony and what it calls modern-day fascism.

Donald Trump stirred fresh controversy by insisting the United States was solely responsible for winning World War II. In a speech, he stated, âWE were the ones that won the war,â minimizing Allied contributions. He later added that âwe were helped, and in some cases, we had to help THEM,â further intensifying backlash. Historians and critics have slammed the remarks as revisionist and disrespectful. Trump, however, remains defiant, framing the statement as a bold assertion of American strength in global history, especially during his campaign push.

French President Emmanuel Macron has delivered a stark assessment of the ongoing Ukraine-Russia war, stating bluntly that Ukraine cannot retake territories already lost to Russia. Acknowledging that even Ukrainian authorities are aware of this, Macron emphasized the need for a united international effort to support Ukraineâwithout escalating into World War III. Calling for peace, he said Ukraine must be positioned strongly for negotiations and confirmed that Ukraine will not be joining NATO. Instead, Macron proposed a deployment of reassurance forces by willing allies, stationed far from the frontlines. The comments come ahead of planned peace talks in Istanbul, which remain deadlocked over Ukraineâs refusal to give up its territorial claims, including Crimea.

In a bold move ahead of critical peace talks in Istanbul, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy challenges Russian President Vladimir Putin to meet face-to-face, daring him to engage in direct discussions for the first time in years. As the world watches, Putin lashes out at Ukraineâs forced conscription tactics, accusing Kyiv of "snatching people like dogs in the streets." Meanwhile, Russian forces continue to volunteer in large numbers, according to Putin, who proudly claims that 50,000-60,000 Russians sign up willingly every month.
