We are introducing new counter terror-style powers to prevent criminals from transporting migrants into the UK. Let’s be clear: this is not about treating migrants as terrorists. This is about tackling the gangs behind the smuggling of people and goods to the UK.

We need a (dangers of) social media course in our elementary schools. We had a dangers of smoking class that warned us in the 70s. We need our children to be educated about the risks associated with social media.
