Rachel Reeves said the use of hotels to house asylum seekers will end this Parliament. She pledged funding to cut the backlog, hear more appeals and return those with no right to stay. The changes aim to save taxpayers £1bn a year, Reeves told MPs during her spending review. Report by Covellm.

New Zealand’s Parliament suspended three opposition lawmakers, Rawiri Waititi, Debbie Ngarewa-Packer, and Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, over their haka performance in protest of a controversial bill. The bill, supported by the conservative government, sparked backlash from the Māori community, with critics claiming it represented an anti-Māori agenda. This protest, the most severe disciplinary action against lawmakers in New Zealand’s history, signals a growing debate over Māori culture’s role in public life and the nation’s push for Indigenous rights.
