Labour’s Shabana Mahmood has delivered a sharp rebuke to Nigel Farage after Reform UK circulated a meme suggesting she was aligned with his party’s hardline immigration stance. The image, shared on social media by Reform, depicted the Home Secretary in Reform‑branded pyjamas with a poster of Farage on her bedroom wall, implying her new asylum proposals were an “audition” to join the party.

Why the United Kingdom Must Offer Humanitarian Visas to Jamaicans After Hurricane Melissa
JamRadio News Desk
Dedicated to clear, reliable reporting — from national headlines to local stories that matter.
Hurricane Melissa didn’t just tear through homes, it exposed the cracks in Britain’s moral compass. As Jamaica struggles to recovers from one of the worst storm in its history, the UK has pledged £7.5 million in aid following criticsm of its initial £2.5 million offer: shelter kits, solar lamps, and rapid deployment teams have been sent. But for thousands of Jamaicans — especially children, families, and those medically at risk are still......

When Hurricane Melissa tore through Jamaica, flattening homes, severing power lines, and displacing tens of thousands, the UK government responded with a figure that felt like a slap in the face: £2.5 million. A paltry offer for a nation in dire need of emergency assistance. Less than what Britain spends on PR consultants for overseas wars. Less than what Jamaica has given Britain—historically, culturally, economically, and through centuries of unpaid labour and stolen lives.

“The King is head of state of Jamaica. Jamaicans came here to......

By JamRadio News Desk | Social Affairs
The UK Home Office has announced sweeping new powers allowing the Immigration Advice Authority (IAA) to seize assets from unregistered immigration advisers. While officials claim Windrush support groups “will not be affected,” contradictory guidance suggests otherwise—raising fears that grassroots organisations could face fines or criminalisation for offering help to victims of the Windrush scandal.
The IAA will gain Proceeds of Crime Act powers to trace, freeze, and confiscate earnings from unregistered advisers. Those found in breach......

Jamaica is waking up to scenes of widespread destruction after Hurricane Melissa tore through the island, flattening homes, flooding roads, and severing communications. The full extent of the damage remains unclear, but early reports paint a grim picture: livestock drowned, hospital roofs ripped off, and airport terminals inundated with water.
Bishop Desmond Jadoo, director of the Windrush National Organization, spoke from Walsall this morning, describing the situation as “clearly worse” than Hurricane Gilbert, which struck in 1988. “We’ve seen cars floating, landslides already, waterfalls forming where they shouldn’t......
