      Suella Braverman vows to stop migrant Channel crossings with new laws

      Suella Braverman said it would “betray” British voters not to tackle the “waves of illegal migrants breaching our border” as she unveiled plans for new laws to curb Channel crossings.

      Trump to remain in 2024 presidential race even if criminally indicted

       Former US President Donald Trump Washington: Even as the Republican Party predicts its a ‘Ron vs Don’ for nomination for 2024, former US President Donald Trump feels he has not been done yet and has vowed to remain in the 2024 presidential race even if he ends up being criminally indicted by various congress committees and the courts.
