Fury as bankrupt Birmingham council offering asylum seekers huge discounts on swimming, golf, trampolining & Villa games
BANKRUPT Birmingham Council is offering small boat asylum seekers hefty discounts on leisure activities — including swimming, golf and trampolining. The Labour -run authority, which is locked in a bin strike now in its seventh month, is giving migrants up to 25 per cent off through its Passport To Leisure scheme. 2 2 Migrants, many of whom have crossed the Channel by boat before claiming asylum on reaching the UK, can also get a fifth off on the use of council swimming pools. Martial arts classes are subsidised for migrants under the initiative, as are courses on trampolining, golf, gymnastics and football. The price of a trip to a council wellbeing centre for fitness, yoga, squash and badminton sessions is also cheaper. The council even offers £1 tickets to Aston Villa matches for migrant children, as long as they are accompanied by a full paying adult. In a further slap in the face for taxpayers, asylum seekers get ten per cent off at most council leisure sites, meaning cheaper trips to the theatre, museum and city's botanical gardens. Under the scheme, £3 is lopped off tickets to watch shows, such as Disney musical Mary Poppins at the Birmingham Hippodrome. The Passport To Leisure card is available to over-60s, full-time students, carers, disabled people and recipients of certain benefits. Birmingham — England's largest local authority district by population — already has a 'Be Active' scheme for asylum seekers which offers free swimming and gym sessions. The council is £3.9billion in debt and declared itself effectively bankrupt in September 2023 with the issue of a Section 114 notice, limiting it to essential spending only. It is also under fire over its handling of a bin strike which has seen mountains of rubbish pile up on the city's streets. Migrant hotel protesters take to the streets again as demonstrations spread across the country in weekend stand-off Unite union members are in a dispute over pay and proposed changes to some roles. Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said: 'This is a bankrupt Labour council, in the middle of a bin strike, racking up billions in debt, hiking council tax by 21 per cent, and their priority is trampolining perks for illegal immigrants. 'It is a slap in the face for hard-pressed taxpayers who are being forced to subsidise freebies for illegal immigrants who claim asylum having crossed the channel.'

Libyan entities discuss restarting local pharma production at Rabta factory with Italian company Pharmacom
The Ministry of Health revealed yesterday that, together with other Libyan entities, it had held discussions with the Italian company Pharmacom on the reactivation of the Rabta factory for raw materials as part of the strategy to enhance pharmaceutical sovereignty. The discussions were chaired by the Undersecretary General of the Ministry of Health / Acting Health Minister, Mohammed Al-Ghouj, in an extensive meeting dedicated to discussing the mechanisms of reactivating the Rabta Raw Materials Factory. This comes as part of the Ministry's efforts to establish a sustainable and high-quality national pharmaceutical industry after the suspension of local production for about 15 years. The meeting was attended by representatives of the National Authority for the Follow-up of the Implementation of the Chemical and Nuclear Weapons Conventions, the State Company for the Manufacture of Medicines and Medical Supplies, a representative of the Italian company Pharmacom, as well as a group of experts in the fields of the pharmaceutical industry, law, and specialized cadres from the Ministry's Pharmacy Department. Diversification, reducing imports dependence and preserving hard currency The Health Ministry says this approach comes in the context of the Tripoli government's 'Return to Life' programme, and with the direct support of Prime Minister, Abd Alhamid Aldabaiba, with the aim of reducing dependence on foreign imports and providing reliable local medicines that meet the needs of the market, in accordance with internationally approved standards. The meeting addressed the technical, legislative and logistical aspects necessary to restart the factory, stressing the importance of developing its manufacturing capabilities to keep pace with the rapid developments in the pharmaceutical industry. Rabta, Qaddafi and chemical weapon- late 1980s to early 1990s It will be recalled that the infamous Rabta Factory is the factory that was part of US and international sanctions on Libya in the late 1980s and early 1990s to prevent Libya from having a chemicals weapons capability under the Qaddafi regime.

Thousands of households can now claim £150 cost of living help – but you'll need to be quick
THOUSANDS of families can now apply for cost of living help worth up to £150. Hard-up households can get access to the cash through the Household Support Fund (HSF). 1 The scheme has been extended several times, with the latest round running between April 2025 and March 2026. Every council in England has been allocated a share of the £742million fund and can give it to residents who are struggling. How the money is paid depends on your council but it could come in the form of free cash, vouchers or white goods. Whether you are eligible also varies depending on where you live but the help is usually available to those who are on a low income or benefits. Households in Portsmouth can now apply for the support, which is worth up to £150. The money is available to help residents most in need with everyday essentials including food and energy bills. It is also designed to help prevent people falling into, or further into, financial crisis. Households with the following postcodes can now apply: PO1 to PO6, PO7 5AT, PO7 5AU, PO7 5AX, PO7 5AY, PO7 5AZ, PO7 5BA, PO7 5BS, PO7 5BT or PO7 5BU. The council is giving eligible families a £50 supermarket voucher per child. That means if you have three children then you will receive £150. Families with children in reception to year 11 will get the vouchers automatically from their schools, as in the previous schemes. Household Support Fund explained Sun Savers Editor Lana Clements explains what you need to know about the Household Support Fund. If you're battling to afford energy and water bills, food or other essential items and services, the Household Support Fund can act as a vital lifeline. The financial support is a little-known way for struggling families to get extra help with the cost of living. Every council in England has been given a share of £421million cash by the government to distribute to local low income households. Each local authority chooses how to pass on the support. Some offer vouchers whereas others give direct cash payments. In many instances, the value of support is worth hundreds of pounds to individual families. Just as the support varies between councils, so does the criteria for qualifying. Many councils offer the help to households on selected benefits or they may base help on the level of household income. The key is to get in touch with your local authority to see exactly what support is on offer. And don't delay, the scheme has been extended until April 2025 but your council may dish out their share of the Household Support Fund before this date. Once the cash is gone, you may find they cannot provide any extra help so it's crucial you apply as soon as possible. You don't need to apply if your child is on the school register and already receives benefits-related free school meals. But other families can still apply for the vouchers. You can complete an application if you are on a low income and have children aged between zero and 19 who do not qualify for free school meals or if you or your partner are at least 20 weeks pregnant. For more information and to apply online visit If you can't complete the online application or upload proof of your situation, you can apply by calling 023 9268 8010. You need to submit your application by 12 noon on September 25. But you should apply as soon as possible as due to limited funding, the scheme may close early if all the funds have been given out. Which other councils are also offering support? Other councils are also offering support to vulnerable households. Among them is Sutton, which is offering residents support worth up to £150. To be eligible for the cash you must live in the borough of Sutton and have less than £3,000 in your bank account. Families in Middlesbrough can also apply for help with their energy bills, food and essential costs, such as council tax. To qualify for the support they need to live in Middlesbrough and have children who are eligible for income-related free school meals. Meanwhile, North Somerset Council has also announced it will provide food vouchers of up to £100 to those in need. Plus, families living in Worcestershire can apply to get cost of living cash worth £500. At the same time, Cheshire West Council's latest allocation of the Household Support Fund is worth £200. Keep an eye on your local council's website or social media channels to avoid missing out. Are you missing out on benefits? YOU can use a benefits calculator to help check that you are not missing out on money you are entitled to Charity Turn2Us' benefits calculator works out what you could get.
