NEW UK PRIME MINISTER, KEIR STARMER, CANCELS RWANDA DEPORTATION PLAN

On his first day in office, newly elected UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has put an end to the Conservative’s contentious plan to deport illegal migrants to Rwanda.

Starmer faces pressure to address the UK’s migration challenges, especially regarding asylum seekers arriving via small boats from France.

On his inaugural day as Prime Minister, Keir Starmer has acted decisively to terminate the Conservative government’s controversial plan to deport migrants arriving illegally in the UK to Rwanda.

The announcement was reported by the Telegraph, citing sources from the Labour Party.

Starmer had previously vowed to eliminate the policy, which had sparked widespread debate and criticism.

However, with migration being a pivotal issue in electoral politics, the new Prime Minister faces significant pressure to find alternative solutions for managing the influx of asylum seekers arriving across the English Channel.The move signifies a dramatic policy shift and raises questions about the future of the UK’s broader migration strategy, as tens of thousands of people continue to make the perilous journey from France to British shores in small boats.

    US PRESIDENT-ELECT, DONALD TRUMP, ARRIVES WASHINGTON AHEAD OF TOMORROW’S INAUGURATION

    US PRESIDENT-ELECT, DONALD TRUMP, ARRIVES WASHINGTON AHEAD OF TOMORROW’S INAUGURATION Donald Trump landed in Washington on Saturday ahead of his inauguration, with the billionaire Republican set to attend a series of events and celebrations before reclaiming the presidency. Trump, who arrived with his wife Melania and other family members at Dulles International Airport, headed to a private event, including a fireworks show, at his golf club in Virginia outside Washington. Earlier Saturday, Trump told NBC News that he plans to sign a record number of executive orders after being sworn in, beginning “right after” he delivers his inaugural address on Monday. He said the number of orders he will sign after taking office had not yet been determined but the figure will be “record-setting.” The president-elect is expected to sign orders undoing many of the policies advanced during President Joe Biden’s outgoing administration. Trump’s promises for Day 1 of his new term also include a mass deportation program. The expulsion of undocumented migrants will “begin very, very quickly,” Trump told NBC. “I can’t say which cities because things are evolving. And I don’t think we want to say what city. You’ll see it firsthand,” he said in the phone interview. Hardline immigration official Tom Homan, whom Trump has named his “border czar,” told The Washington Post Saturday that the incoming administration was rethinking its initial moves following media leaks. Multiple US outlets had reported the Trump administration planned a major raid in Chicago on Tuesday. Trump’s team “hasn’t made a decision yet,” Homan told the paper. “We’re looking at this leak and will make a decision based on this leak.” Homan added that he did not know why Chicago had become the focus of media reports but that the new administration will arrest people they deem “public safety threats” from “day one.” “We’ll be arresting people across the country, uninhibited by any prior administration guidelines,” he said. Recent inaugurations have been held on the steps of the US Capitol overlooking the National Mall, but Trump announced Friday the ceremony was moving indoors because of unusually cold weather forecast to hit Washington. “I think we made the right decision,” he told NBC. “The weather was really looking bad in terms of the coldness, and I think it would have been dangerous for a lot of people.” Following Saturday’s private party, Trump is expected to lay a wreath at Arlington National Cemetery on Sunday before attending a rally of his supporters in Washington. He is also scheduled to address a dinner event on Sunday. Thousands of demonstrators marched through the streets of Washington on Saturday in protest over Trump’s policies.

    I DON’T WANT BRITAIN TO BE LIKE NIGERIA WHERE GOVT DESTROYS LIVES – KEMI BADENOCH

    I DON’T WANT BRITAIN TO BE LIKE NIGERIA WHERE GOVT DESTROYS LIVES – KEMI BADENOCH UK Conservative party leader Kemi Badenoch says she does not want Britain to be like Nigeria, a poor country where terrible government destroy lives. In her first speech of the year on Thursday, Ms Badenoch explained her push for “real conservatism” that guarantees a “better, richer and safer” tomorrow for the younger generation of Brits. “Why this matters so much to me is because I know what it is like to have something and lose it. I don’t want Britain to lose what it has,” said Ms Badenoch. “I grew up in a poor country, and I watched my relatively wealthy family become poorer and poorer and poorer despite working harder as their money disappeared with inflation,” Ms Badenoch said. The Tory leader narrated how she migrated to the UK at age 16 with her father’s last £100 and would never want the UK to become a country like Nigeria where terrible governments destroy lives. “I came back to the UK at 16 with my father’s last £100 and a hope of a better life. So, I’ve lived with the consequences of a terrible government that destroys lives, and I never ever want that to happen here,” Ms Badenoch said. This comes as another episode of Ms Badenoch criticising her home country Nigeria, exposing how prolonged misgovernment is ruining the country. Before now, she had berated Nigerian police as “armed robbers” who intimidate the citizens they are employed to protect with their guns. Angered by Ms Badenoch’s intermittent criticisms of Nigeria at every opportunity, Vice President Kashim Shettima responded, telling her to change her name if she does not want any association with the “greatest black nation on earth, Nigeria.”
