French election: Le Pen pledges to suspend immigration

[Spike]

One of the frontrunners in the French presidential election, far-right leader Marine Le Pen, says she would suspend all legal immigration to France.

The National Front (FN) leader told a rally that she wanted to stop "a mad, uncontrolled situation".

Polls suggest she is neck and neck with centrist Emmanuel Macron, ahead of Sunday's first round of voting.

meanwhile, Britain up in arms


BREAKING NEWS: Britain to go to the polls in just seven weeks as Theresa May stuns Westminster by calling a snap General Election to provide the 'strong and stable leadership' to deliver Brexit

Theresa May has announced a snap general election for June 8 to give Britain the 'strong and stable leadership' needed to deliver Brexit.

Mrs May said weakness in Westminster would limit her hand in the negotiations with Europe and she called the poll knowing an election against Jeremy Corbyn could hand her a huge Commons majority.

The premier blasted opposition parties for trying to frustrate Brexit and said she was not prepared to let them 'endanger the security of millions of working people'.

Making her shock announcement from the steps of No 10, Mrs May said Britain needed strong leadership and insisted an early poll was the 'right approach' and in the 'national interest'.

Basically, May is going to propose a 'vote of no confidence' in her own government tomorrow, which, if passed as expected, will result in Parliament being dissolved.

The future is cloudy
