We have recently been presented with a plan to deal with the huge numbers of illegal immigrants coming over in small dinghies across the English Channel from France. Boris Johnson has made the case and Priti Patel the Home Secretary has said they will be sent to a processing centre in Rwanda, East Africa. Apparently Priti Patel signed a memorandum with Rwanda last week and will pay the country £120 million. In the meantime, the Royal Navy will be tasked with policing the English Channel, to apprehend the small boats.

Boris WTO - Is this the Real Deal?
by Louise Mclean
On Friday 16th October, after Boris Johnson waited to see the outcome of discussions on Brexit at an EU Summit, he made a statement in Downing Street saying we would be leaving the transition period at the end of the year trading with the EU on WTO terms, or as he put it 'Australian' rules. Boris said all the UK had ever asked for was a Canadian style trade deal but it seems the EU was not prepared to grant one.Sir Keir Starmer's Britain
