Health secretary: Diphtheria risk ‘very low’ to UK public

Health Secretary Steve Barclay says that the risk of diphtheria to the British public is “very low”.

There have been rising cases of the disease among asylum seekers who have recently arrived in the UK.

A man died on 19th November having contracted the disease at the Manston processing centre in Kent.

The Conservative MP says: “We had a targeted action of vaccinations at Manston and so 500 people were vaccinated before they actually left Manston.” Report by Jonesia.

Rishi Sunak's controversial Rwanda Migrant Bill passed after UK Parliament Marathon | Oneindia

On Monday, the United Kingdom Parliament passed the contentious Rwanda deportation bill, marking a significant step toward its enactment into law. Despite months of opposition from various quarters including Parliament, courts, and civil society, the bill received approval. The primary point of contention had been the concern for the human rights of asylum seekers. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his Conservative party have been vigorously advocating for this legislation. The bill aims to designate Rwanda as a safe third country, compelling judges to consider it as such. Additionally, it seeks to grant decision-makers handling asylum applications the authority to bypass certain provisions of international and domestic human rights laws. This move comes in response to a UK Supreme Court ruling that deems the deportation of migrants to Kigali as illegal. #RwandaMigrantBill #UKParliamentMarathon #RishiSunak #ControversialBill #StopTheBoats #UKImmigration #AsylumSeekers #HumanRights #UKGovernment #Legislation ~PR.152~ED.155~GR.125~HT.96~
