Last update: 7 hours agoFalklands Budget: The Falkland Islands Government has set out its 2026/27 budget in a £216.3m package, with a public meeting Monday 8 June (5-6pm) where Financial Secretary Pat Clunie will explain the plan, including a £500 cost-of-living payment for full-time FIG employees, a 5.3% minimum wage rise to £10.17 from January 2027, and fee increases of 2.7% tied to inflation. Travel Support: The same budget also suspends the Travel Credit Scheme, saving £630,000 a year, but leaving many status holders without future assistance for travel. Overseas Territories Day: The Islands marked UK Overseas Territories Day with flags flying in Stanley and events in London. Oil Dispute: Argentina has escalated its dispute over the Sea Lion oilfield near the Falklands, warning it could “fully exercise all” actions and calling Rockhopper and Navitas “clandestine” after plans moved into development. Falklands Farming Link: In Scotland, a farm linked by name to Falkland Estate faces fallout after 271 cattle were culled following a traceability inspection finding animals “unidentifiable and untraceable.” Service and Remembrance: An RAF corporal is running 255km through June to honour Falklands War lives lost, raising funds for Walking With The Wounded.
