According to Wikipedia "National Prayer Breakfast is designed to be a forum for the political, social, and business elite to assemble and pray together."
Trump at the National Prayer Breakfast: "We hit 'em. And we want to hit 'em right, sir, and we want to hit them from the top! East, west, north, south. Sir, they won't know what the hell! And we'll knock them out. We did it politically correct. Five years."

I was at an event hosted and attended by back bench Labour MPs on the gov. Earned Settlement proposals.
We heard from a doctor, lawyer, carer and engineer who face waiting decades for the opportunity to settle in this country because they don't 'contribute' enough.
