Lords checkmate Rwanda plan!
The U.K.’s Upper House has passed five amendments on the Rwanda bill. If the amendments are ratified, it would make it harder for the lower house to declare Rwanda a “safe” country.

Trump’s claims of a migrant crime wave are not supported by national data

Run the cassock-laden bishops out of town
