Cabinet ministers row over plans to increase foreign workers in bid to expand seasonal worker scheme
A TORY row exploded over plans to increase foreign workers to plug staffing shortages.
Cabinet ministers locked horns over immigration rules as they discussed expanding the seasonal worker scheme.
Home Secretary Suella Braverman and Trade Secretary Kemi Badenoch are understood to have pushed back on using migrants to solve the problem.
And hardline Conservative MPs baulked at the suggestion.
Tory MP Lee Anderson told The Sun: “Relaxing immigration rules is the easy option.
“We need to get people back to work and to fill the void.
“Where will we be in 50 years time if we keep allowing immigration to rise year on year?”

A source involved in the discussions yesterday said that ministers are currently trying to figure out how many foreign workers would come in under the arrangement.
Another Whitehall insider said the visa scheme could be relaxed on a sector-by-sector basis where there are shortages.
“Campaigners said moves to change the rules “beggar belief”.
Alp Mehmet, chairman of Migration Watch UK, said: “The lessons of Labour’s mistakes of 20 years ago of opening up to cheaper migrant workers have been forgotten.”

Biden Order Sharpens Foreign Investment Screening Process
While the White House said the new order is not targeted toward any particular country, it comes amid growing concern among U.S. officials about China’s investments in the U.S. technology sector and other industries. The order calls for CFIUS to weigh whether a foreign investment or sale could affect the resilience of critical U.S. supply chains and the impact it could have on U.S. technological leadership in areas affecting U.S. national security and on broader investment trends.

FBI raid of Mar-a-Lago resort seized classified docs with foreign nuclear secrets after ‘breaking into Trump’s safe’
THE FBI has reportedly seized classified docs with foreign nuclear secrets after raiding Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort.
Trump has spoken out against the search of his Florida residence, saying that FBI agents “broke into my safe.”
A document obtained during the raid described the nuclear capabilities of a foreign government’s military defenses, the Washington Post reported Tuesday.
The Post did not reveal which country the document pertains to, nor did it disclose that country’s relationship with the United States.
Additional details on the FBI’s August 8 raid on the Mar-a-Lago property continue to come to light.
Court records revealed that 11,000 government documents and photographs were seized that night.

The Washington Post previously reported that many of those documents detailed top-secret operations that required special clearances beyond top-secret clearance.
The outlet also reports that the documents were restricted to the point where senior members of the Biden administration’s security team didn’t have proper authorization to review them.
Trump remains under investigation by the DOJ for removing classified documents from the White House after his term ended in January 2021 and storing them at his Florida residence.
The National Archives said it had received 15 boxes of White House records from the Florida home of Trump.

Just last week, photos of the documents seized were released by the Department of Justice.
The Justice Department said it uncovered efforts to obstruct its investigation into the discovery of the classified documents at Trump’s Florida estate.
However, on Monday, a federal judge agreed to appoint a special master to review the documents seized during the FBI search – a request made by Trump.
This move is likely to result in a delay to the DOJ’s criminal investigation.
‘UNDER SEIGE’
Trump raged on social media as his estate was raided, claiming that he was “under siege.”
“Nothing like this has ever happened to a president of the United States before,” Trump said in his official statement.
“After working and cooperating with the relevant government agencies, this unannounced raid on my home was not necessary or appropriate.”

He called the raid a “weaponization of the justice system” and blamed “radical left Democrats” who don’t want him to run for president in 2024.
“I will continue to fight for the Great American People!” the former president wrote.
