Rishi Sunak sees off rebels as MPs back Rwanda bill
Rishi Sunak's Rwanda bill, aimed at preventing legal challenges to the UK's plan to send asylum seekers to Rwanda, has passed the House of Commons with 320 votes in favour and 276 against. Despite initial concerns from some Conservative MPs, only 11 voted against the bill. The legislation now faces opposition in the House of Lords. Sunak's government argues that this policy will deter migrants from illegally crossing the Channel into the UK. However, Labour criticises it as an ineffective and costly 'gimmick’. The plan has sparked divisions within the Conservative Party, with MPs like Robert Jenrick proposing amendments to bypass parts of human rights law, which were ultimately not adopted. Home secretary James Cleverly defended the bill as a clear message against illegal entry into the UK. The bill's passage in the Commons is a temporary victory for Sunak, but more challenges await in the House of Lords.
'Crazily stupid' gangs ship migrants across freezing Channel
Amid freezing temperatures, criminal gangs have been condemned for their reckless actions in transporting around 200 migrants across the English Channel in dangerously cold conditions. The gangs have been criticised for their complete disregard for the safety of the migrants, using flimsy boats in treacherous weather, risking fatal outcomes. This risky crossing follows the recent tragic loss of five lives. The GB News' security editor highlighted how these gangs reduce the number of people per boat in bad weather, emphasising the perilous nature of these journeys. An investigation into 'aggravated manslaughter' has been launched following the recent capsising incident, underscoring the life-threatening risks involved. The Prime Minister's Rwanda bill, aimed at addressing this crisis, was passed by the House of Commons despite strong opposition and concerns over its compatibility with international law.
Bronson Battersby: dead toddler 'just wanted to be loved'
Two-year-old Bronson Battersby and his father Kenneth were found dead in their Skegness flat, a tragedy that has deeply distressed the community. Bronson, who craved love and attention, died of starvation and dehydration days after his 60-year-old father succumbed to a suspected heart attack. Their bodies were discovered on 9 January, following efforts by social services to contact them. Neighbours reported Kenneth struggling to cope as a single parent and his attempts to seek help from social services. Amanda Tovey, who lived above them, described Bronson as a child longing for affection and Kenneth as often frustrated and shouting at the boy. Despite Kenneth's efforts, Amanda believed he was overwhelmed, particularly in handling Bronson's tantrums. The social worker and the landlord found the bodies after gaining access to the flat. Lincolnshire Police stated the deaths were not suspicious, and the matter was passed to the coroner's office. A police investigation is now under way. The landlady of the building expressed her shock and sorrow over the deaths.
