Foreign secretary Lord Cameron said he is "confident" the Rwanda bill will be passed by parliament this week. The legislation which is set to be passed declares Rwanda a safe country - after the Supreme Court blocked an earlier plan in November.
"If you can't send them directly back to France, the best thing to do is find another answer where people who come to Britain in that way can't stay in Britain. That's what the Rwanda plan is all about," Mr Cameron said.

Priyanka Gandhi criticizes BJP for wanting to change Constitution and using religion in politics. She emphasizes protecting people's rights, warns of the impact.. IndiaTimes
Rahul Gandhi's recent statement at the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra's finale in Mumbai sparked controversy. While attempting to criticise BJP's tactics, his mention of "Shakti" in Hindu dharma was perceived differently, leading to BJP using it against Congress and Rahul. Congress defended Gandhi, attributing his words to BJP's power through RSS and 'Manuvaad.' However, the incident highlights the importance of careful language in political discourse, especially during elections, to avoid unintended consequences and misinterpretations.

In this episode of Know Your MP, we talk about Smriti Irani. In 2014, Priyanka Gandhi dismissed Smriti Irani as 'Smriti Who?', unaware of his brother’ impending defeat in Amethi in 2019. Irani's journey from television fame to political prominence culminated in her victory, challenging the Gandhi stronghold. Her resilience and dedication led to key ministerial roles and landmark reforms, solidifying her as a trailblazer in Indian politics.
