Can anyone who thinks the new settlement rules could reduce a "pull fsctor" explain why the 2022 Nationality And Borders Act (only temporary protection if come without permission) and 2023 Illegal Migration Act (can't claim asylum at all if unauthorised) didn't stop the boats/reduce the flow

If Trump still sues the BBC, notwithstanding their apology, he is in a far less strong position than if the BBC had not apologised. The apology was tactically a sensible, prudent move by the BBC whether Trump sues or not.
