    • Former Home Secretary Accuses Rishi Sunak of Betrayal Over Illegal Migration PoliciesFormer Home Secretary Suella Braverman accuses Rishi Sunak of failing to keep promises on illegal migration policies, showing equivocation, disregard, and a lack of interest. The reshuffle of his cabinet, including the appointment of Lord David Cameron, has added to Tory right concerns and election uncertainty.

      Suella Braverman, the former home secretary, has accused Rishi Sunak of failing to keep his promises and betraying her and the country over illegal migration. She sent several letters outlining key policies during his leadership campaign, but he allegedly showed equivocation, disregard, and a lack of interest. Braverman believes Sunak either cannot deliver on his promises or never had any intention of doing so. This accusation comes after Sunak held his first cabinet meeting following a dramatic reshuffle, which saw the appointment of Lord David Cameron as foreign secretary and the sacking of Cyrille O'Braveman. The reshuffle has angered some on the Tory right, with former cabinet minister Jacob Rees Mogg expressing concerns about Cameron potentially overshadowing the prime minister on the international stage. The ongoing political drama is adding to the uncertainty surrounding the Conservatives' ability to win the next election.

    • UK Government's Rwanda Deportation Plan and Russell Brand's AllegationsThe UK government faces potential legal challenges over their plan to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda, while Russell Brand faces more allegations of inappropriate behavior. Health officials advocate for routine chickenpox vaccinations to reduce cases and prevent severe illnesses, and Quince offers discounted luxury items.

      The UK government is anticipating the Supreme Court to rule against their plan to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda, and may need to provide more justification for the policy. Meanwhile, the BBC has reported two additional complaints against Russell Brand for inappropriate behavior, joining the four women who previously accused him of sexual assault. Health officials recommend routine vaccinations against chickenpox for all toddlers, which they believe will significantly reduce cases and prevent severe illnesses and deaths. This recommendation comes after years of debate on the cost-effectiveness of the vaccine. In other news, Quince continues to offer high-end essentials at significantly discounted prices, allowing consumers to save up to 80% on items like cashmere sweaters and leather jackets.

    #46 Quasi Asylverbot in Großbritannien: Machen die Tories Politik für die Masse oder eine kleine Minderheit?
    Die britische Innenministerin, Suella Braverman, hat ein neues Einwanderungsgesetz vorgebracht: Jeder, der illegal im Vereinigten Königreich ankommt - zum Beispiel in kleinen Booten an der Küste Englands - wird innerhalb von 28 Tagen abgeschoben. Entweder zurück ins Heimatland oder in ein "sicheres Drittland", wie Rishi Sunak sagt. Die Vereinten Nationen haben diesen Gesetzesentwurf stark kritisiert, sie sagen, dass es sich dabei quasi um ein Asylverbot handelt. In dieser Folge sprechen wir mit Zarith, der Asyl in Großbritannien beantragt und bekommen hat aber immer noch in einem Hotel für Geflüchtete wohnt. Er erzählt uns, wie es sich anfühlt von Menschen in diesem Land gehated und abgelehnt zu werden und warum er fiese Kommentare trotzdem wertschätzt. Außerdem haben wir uns Frey Lindsay eingeladen. Er ist Journalist und auf Migrationsthemen spezialisiert. Frey erzählt uns, was er auf einem Flüchtlingsrettungsboot erlebt hat, warum gerade rechte Gruppen Proteste gegen Geflüchtete anzetteln und inwiefern sich die Dinge ändern würden, wenn die Labour-Partei an die Macht kommen sollte.
