The government condemned a protest by hundreds of masked demonstrators who blocked access to the port of Dover, disrupting traffic on the A20 and causing delays in Calais. The demonstrators chanted "stop the boats," and while the crowd later dispersed, questions were raised about policing and intelligence. Kent Police engaged with protesters, and the Port of Dover said roads were free flowing again.
At Reform's party conference in Birmingham, Treasury spokesperson Robert Jenrick pledged to raise the tax-free personal allowance to £15,000 within the first 100 days of a Reform government, a policy he said would save most taxpayers £500 a year and cost £17 billion initially, funded by cutting the welfare budget by £50 billion. Suella Braverman spoke about education and warned of a crisis for children, while the conference was overshadowed by allegations of irregular donations and the resignation of senior aides. Nigel Farage was due to give his closing speech later.
In Nepal, a 64-year-old woman was rescued from a collapsed building in flood-hit Bagmati province after being trapped for 10 days. At a damaged hydropower plant, rescuers saved two workers from a tunnel, but a third body was recovered. At least 1,300 people have died and thousands remain missing after the floods, with search efforts continuing.

we can send a loud message to the mainstream media, to the establishment, to the uni party, that the People's Army ain't going anywhere. Now, the simple truth is that Reform is the last chance to save the country. And for me, I owe everything to Great Britain. My dad came to this country, kicked out of Kenya in the 1960s, aged 19.

These are the same families, the same working families, that built Britain, now having their futures stolen from them. Under a Reform government, that ends.
