A website is offering benefits claimants advice on how to secure PIP handouts for just £49.99 - after the number of people claiming the disability payment hit four million. 

Pipexpert.co.uk, run by Karol Slusarczyk, prides itself on being able to help people secure higher payouts in as little as 30 seconds. 

New customers are taught how to maximise their Personal Independence Payment (PIP) by answering questions on government forms in a way that showcases the severity of their 'disability'. 

When the Daily Mail carried out a free survey which pops up on the site - citing 'anxiety' as the disability - the results state an individual could receive up to £194 a week (£30,264 over three years) if they use the website's services. 

People are then encouraged to spend £49.99 on a guide that will help them apply for benefits.

'A single PIP award is worth hundreds of times the cost. Don't lose thousands because of wrong wording on the form,' it states. 

It comes after four million people claimed PIP in England and Wales in April 2026, figures from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) show, reflecting a 2 per cent increase over three months.

A magnitude-4.8 earthquake struck southern Spain today, forcing hotels to evacuate and leaving three people injured.

The disaster hit Granada at around 10.38am local time, sending debris crashing into streets and causing cracks in buildings across the city, which is popular with tourists.

The quake's epicentre was in the town of Alhendin, around six miles south of Granada, according to Spain's National Geographical Institute.

Three people sustained minor injuries with one girl taken to hospital, according to Antonio Sanz, the top emergencies official in the region of Andalusia. 

Hotels were evacuated along with council buildings open to the public, while parts of the famous Alhambra palace were also cleared.

Nevada Shopping, a shopping centre in the city, was also evacuated.

Emergency services received more than 100 calls reporting damage, including falling debris and cracks in buildings.

Videos posted on social media showed rubble strewn across streets and damage to cars.

'Everything came crashing down. It was terrifying,' Cristina Ruiz Lopez, a lab worker who was in a supermarket when the earthquake struck, wrote on X.

The quake came after a magnitude-5.0 tremor

Ministers and civil servants on the frontline of tackling the small boats crisis came under fire today over plans to splash millions of pounds on electric car chargers.

Nearly £4.5 million has been earmarked for the Net Zero gadgets to be installed at Home Office buildings to help staff go 'green'.

But it sparked a furious backlash as critics said officials, who have struggled to get to grips with relentless Channel crossings, should focus all their resources on tackling the crisis.

It came as another 250 migrants on three boats arrived on Monday, taking the total since Andy Burnham became Prime Minister just over a month ago to nearly 3,500.

In recent weeks a string of 'mega-dinghies' carrying more than 100 migrants at a time have also reached UK shores as smugglers shift their tactics.

One vessel arrived last week carrying a staggering 230 migrants, comfortably smashing the previous record of 165 aboard one vessel on July 23.

The spend came to light today in a written Parliamentary question, with Home Office minister Sarah Jones saying more than £500,000 was splurged on installing electric

Donald Trump is facing ridicule about his close relationship with his personal aide Natalie Harp, while First Lady Melania Trump has shrunk away from the public eye. 

Harp, 35, was among the handful of aides chosen to accompany the President as he secretly fled Air Force One amid an Iranian assassination threat in Turkey back in July. 

Sources have told the Daily Mail that Harp is Trump's closest aide, often dubbing her his 'connective tissue' with some pointing out that she has more access to the President than even his chief of staff Susie Wiles. 

Harp is also known as his 'human printer' for her habit of sharing printed copies of articles and social media posts that the President wants to read. There's rarely an event or trip where she's not glued closely to his side.

Now Harp's close relationship with the President is being mocked, as her stardom is back in the spotlight.

2028 Democratic hopeful Senator Jon Ossoff ridiculed Trump during a Saturday rally in Georgia over his relationship with the young aide. 

He accused Trump of not 'wanting' to do his job in the

British tourists spotted a deserted sinking ship adrift off the French coast, sparking a rescue mission for a missing sailor.

Passengers on a ferry were travelling from Portsmouth to Bilbao, Spain when they noticed the sailboat partially submerged off the Ile d'Yeu in France.

Search operations were launched on Monday and into today to find the missing man who was aboard the boat.

Authorities say he was of French nationality.

After a tourist on the ferry raised an alarm, the ship diverted its journey to send a life boat with three rescuers.

But the emergency team found no signs of life on board or around the sailboat.

The maritime prefecture said no beacon was activated on board either, which would have sent an emergency signal carrying the exact location coordinates to international rescue satellites. 

A helicopter and a maritime surveillance aircraft were deployed to search for 'the potential occupants of a 13-metre sailing yacht adrift in the relatively calm seas', the maritime prefecture said.

This is the elderly woman who died in a house fire which saw another woman arrested on suspicion of murder.

Sylvia Townsend, 94, was named locally by neighbours in Hardwicke, near Gloucester, who described firefighters' desperate attempts to resuscitate the pensioner after she was carried out of her burning bungalow on a blanket.

It is believed the widow, a mother-of-two, lived with her daughter Laura, 63, at the modest property but the younger woman is thought to have escaped the blaze.

Gloucestershire Police said officers were called to the address in Hardwicke at 4am on Sunday.

Emergency services searched the house and found the elderly occupant unconscious. Ambulance crews performed CPR but she was pronounced dead at the scene.

A neighbour who was woken by his pet dog barking told the Daily Mail fire engines were already at the scene when he saw smoke and flames coming from the front windows of the property after they blew out.

He said: 'A young man had already called 999 before me and we saw firefighters carry Sylvia out on a fire blanket.

'Each firefighter was holding a corner of the blanket and then they carried out CPR. They worked on

President Donald Trump has revealed that the US is pivoting to a more 'low-key' approach in the conflict with Iran.

The president suggested that he will be shifting away from military strikes and focusing on applying economic pressure.

'We are low-keying it. We are ​only semi-negotiating ​with ⁠them,' he told Axios on Sunday. 'We are just ​watching Iran with ​its ⁠huge inflation and the fact ⁠they ​have no ​money.'

He insisted that Iran is in 'very bad shape' and has no money to pay its troops, a situation he said is being exacerbated by the US' naval blockade. 

'It will work out. It always works out. It's like a chess game,' he added.

It came a day after details emerged on the potential deal between Iran and Oman on managing the Strait of Hormuz.

The Oman agreement, which was viewed as a pending done deal until Tehran issued a list of demands on Saturday, would have given Iran partial control of traffic

A mega-dinghy with 230 migrants on board reached Britain overnight.

It is the largest number ever recorded in one small boat, with the previous record of 165 being set just 17 days earlier. 

The confirmed 230 arrivals is more than the typical capacity of a Boeing 737 jet.

People traffickers are currently thought to charge around £2,000 per head for illegal passage to Britain. With about £10,000 in assumed costs for the trip, this single dinghy could have made them a staggering £450,000 profit.

Their new mega-dinghies are 'floating deathtraps' and at 42ft are longer than a double-decker bus

It comes after a Home Office source insisted on Friday that Labour's plan to tackle the Channel crisis was 'beginning to bear fruit'.

The overnight arrivals mean more than 900 migrants reached Britain over the weekend.

The dinghy, pictured as it left France, came into Dover in the early hours

Mourners have gathered for the funeral of a British illegal immigrant who was shot dead in the US after allegedly trying to con a pensioner for construction work.

Traveller Salis Hanrahan, 20, was allegedly gunned down at the home of retired firefighter George Barr, 75, in Philadelphia on July 8.

He was reportedly working on Barr's house as part of a construction team in the days before his death.

Local reports suggest he was shot after trying to charge the Vietnam War veteran £51,800 for repairs on the £190,000 property. 

Mr Hanrahan had entered the US illegally after being denied a visa because government officials determined that he was affiliated with the 'The Travelling Conman Fraud Group'.

Members of the organised crime gang, as it has been designated by the FBI, are known for overcharging victims for building work that they have failed to complete.

Mr Hanrahan collapsed on the pavement outside Barr's home in the Roxborough area of the city after being shot in the chest. He later died from his wounds in hospital.

Hundreds of mourners gathered in his memory today in Hayes, west London, with the

A missing California mother of seven has been found dead inside the garage of her ex-boyfriend's home, her family said. 

Tatyana McIntyre, 30, who also uses the name Alison Riley, was found dead at the Fresno property on Wednesday after she disappeared on Tuesday.

Jeffrey Vernon Michaels, the father of two of her children, was booked last week on a murder charge following the discovery of her body. 

McIntyre's mother, Liberty, has since spoken with Fox26, claiming that Michaels has a history of domestic violence and allegedly choked her daughter. 

She told the outlet that her body was found inside the garage of the home, adding that she spoke with Michaels after her disappearance before he went 'offline.'

'I spoke to him right after she came up missing. I asked him, "Where is my daughter, Jeff?" and he went totally offline. We lost contact with him.'

Describing her late daughter, she said. 'She was so bubbly, she was fun, she enjoyed life. I miss waking up to texts from her, talking to me about her day.' 

According to Liberty, her

Independent senator Lidia Thorpe has clashed with a former CEO during a federal parliamentary inquiry into racism, challenging him on whether he accepted he was living on 'stolen land' or if he 'paid the rent'.

Peter Balan, who this year received an Order of Australia for 'service to tertiary education and to the community of South Australia', fronted the Joint Standing Committee on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs in Brisbane on July 28.

The former University of South Australia academic and CEO of manufacturing company Tyronsea Plastics, made a submission to the parliamentary inquiry, which is examining racism, hate and violence experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across Australia. 

Balan wrote to the committee that he hoped to see 'Aboriginal people would enjoy life as other Australian citizens' and argued for scrapping race-based programs, including ending Welcome to Country ceremonies. 

The tense exchange began when Thorpe pressed Balan to recognise Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as the First Peoples of Australia.

'I've asked you a question. Do you acknowledge that we are the First Peoples of this

Donald Trump's strategy to defeat Iran is facing more roadblocks as the US weapons stockpile and cash to fund the military operation runs dry. 

Further complicating the path to peace, Tehran is refusing to reopen the Strait of Hormuz until Washington pays war reparations, lifts sanctions, and ends its naval blockade.

Meanwhile, War Secretary Pete Hegseth has failed to sell skeptical senators on Trump's record $1.5 trillion defense budget. The chamber left town for its five-week summer recess without advancing it, or the separate war funding the Pentagon says it urgently needs.

It comes as the Pentagon presses defense contractors to resupply munitions and other critical stockpiles depleted by Trump's war with Iran.

The President suggested over the weekend that he will shift away from military strikes and focus on applying economic pressure.

'We are low-keying it. We are ​only semi-negotiating ​with ⁠them,' he told Axios on Sunday. 'We are just ​watching Iran with ​its ⁠huge inflation and the fact ⁠they ​have no ​money.'
