Shabana Mahmood: Teething Troubles with One in, One Out Deal.
Keir Starmer did a deal with French President Emmanuel Macron. The agreement is one in, one out. In other words, we send a migrant back to France, and we accept one from France. Or at least that's the basic theory of it. So illegal migrants can be removed from Britain, and an equal number can come to Britain via the legal route. However, some have questioned the logic of this. Surely a sound policy would be stop or at least deter migrants from crossing the English Channel in the first place. The Channel is the busiest or one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, so dinghies stacked up with people are taking a hell of a risk. There have been no collisions with shipping as far as I know; however, dinghies have capsized with fatalities. Mr. Starmer was also supposed to be cracking down on the gangs exploiting migrants, but how well that has gone, I cannot say.

Iranian Official Threatens War.
As Trump sends American flotillas from different directions to Iran, an anonymous Iranian official has said that if America strikes, "This time we will treat any attack (whether it be) limited, unlimited, surgical, kinetic, whatever they call it - as an all-out war and we will respond in the hardest possible way to settle this"!!! The official declined to say what this response would look like. Iran has said it is preparing for any American action and hopes it will not have to confront the US fleet/fleets.

What we know about Alex Pretti, the ICU nurse shot and killed in Minneapolis
For another individual to be gunned down in the street by ICE agents is appalling. Among the alphabet soup of government organizations that need to be abolished, ICE ranks among the highest. There is no reason for Alex Pretti to be dead right now. As a law-abiding citizen of the United States of America, he was exterminated because of his own individualism. The fact he had a right to carry a firearm shows that the Second Amendment only applies to only a few.
