Last week, the Department of Justice and FBI released a memo confirming that the millionaire pedophile did not have a client list and that he wasn't murdered to cover it up - a conspiracy Trump and his team have long pushed.

UK Economy Suffers Unexpected Shrink For Second Consecutive Month

The UK's economy has shrunk by 0.1% in the latest figures for May, contracting for the second month in a row, a surprise after economists broadly predicted a rise in GDP. 


The Office of National Statistics attributes the fall to declining output in the manufacturing and construction sectors. 


This comes as a blow to the Labour government, which has made economic growth a key priority, with Chancellor Rachel Reeves admitting the figure is "disappointing" but says she is "determined to kickstart growth". 


The opposition Conservative Party's Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride criticised the government's economic policy and warned that tax rises are likely to come as a result.

UK TO RETURN BOAT MIGRANTS TO FRANCE 'IN WEEKS'

The UK says it will be returning migrants to France within weeks, after agreeing a so-called 'one in, one out' deal.

Some migrants who make small boat crossings to England will be detained and returned to France, and in exchange the UK will take in an equivalent number of asylum seekers with a family connection to Britain.

Opposition parties are describing it as a 'gimmick'.

But Mike Tapp, Labour MP for Dover where many of those reaching the UK in small boats land, says he welcomes the agreement.
