I've been called out by @TahirAliMP in Parliament because I criticised his eager lobbying for the construction of an airport in Mirpur, Pakistan.

Let me repeat myself - I do not care about Pakistani airports.

British MPs should prioritise Britain over Pakistan.

EVERY TIME.

I am a member of the Public Accounts Committee in Parliament and we have just released our findings on Britain’s broken asylum system. It is beyond damning.

Some extracts from our report…

“…Government departments still do not have a grip on how they will manage asylum as an end-to-end system, or a clear sense of what they are trying to achieve.”

“Major policy risks and operational changes have been pursued without a realistic grip on delivery risks, costs or system-wide impacts.”

“…no single point of accountability for outcomes or a governance structure for the end-to-end system.”

“…absence of a clear strategy, decisions around planning and resource allocation have been reactive and disjointed.”

“The Home Office was unable to show… that it has the commercial capabilities needed to manage asylum accommodation effectively.”

“…weaknesses in its ability to prevent excess profits accruing for contractors…”

“…no evidence that lessons from past mistakes are being used to clearly inform current actions.”

“Poor data quality and weak management information continue to prevent effective management…”

“…current data sharing limitations make it impossible to directly track individual cases through the entire asylum process.”

“The Home Office does not yet have a credible long-term strategy for asylum accommodation…”

“… there is little evidence the Home Office fully understands the impact of its approach on local services.”

“The government is at considerable risk of repeating past failures.”

But don’t worry, the government says it has a plan...

It says it has “learned a lot of lessons”.

And that it’s going to put 10,000 civil servants into what they call an “Asylum Group”.

Funded by us, of course.

How about improving data-linking systems?

The Ministry of Justice says it simply needs more of our money.

And what about ending the use of hotels and transferring to larger, “purpose-driven” sites?

“The Home Office’s own analysis suggests that large sites will cost more than hotels, as seen in previously costly attempts such as Wethersfield.”

The numbers…

£4.9 billion spent on the system each year, including:
£2.7 billion on asylum accommodation
£700 million on cash support
£600 million on unaccompanied asylum-seeking children
Nearly £1 billion on casework, appeals, detention, and removal

All spent to produce between 50,000 or so refugees each year.

And of course, these costs don’t include what is then paid by us, the taxpayer, in Local Authority housing, welfare, childcare assistance, and advice and translation services once once they receive their refugee status and are no longer in the asylum system.

Want more?

At the time of the NAO report (December 2025), Home Office reported there were roughly 224,000 individuals still waiting in the system, excluding those awaiting an initial asylum decision.

Further, since April 2024, MoJ say the number of asylum seekers waiting for an appeal decision alone has trebled, from 27,000 to 70,000, with appeals taking nearly 60 weeks to be heard.

Who pays for them while they wait over a year for a decision?

Us.

And the tens of thousands of failed asylum seekers each year - what happens to them?

The Home Office isn’t sure.

It says it knows “where some of them are”, but the rest are “elsewhere in the country”, and that it is possible they “remain in the UK without detection”.

Don’t fear though, because the Home Office won’t guarantee that it will find them, only that it would “seek to find them”. Whatever the hell that means…

And to deal with the backlog of cases and appeals?

“Home Office relaxed its recruitment arrangements, resulting in newly recruited staff being ill-suited to making complex decisions on asylum cases, which in turn affected decision quality.”

The result?

“In a rolling twelve months to May 2025, 42% of sampled decisions had significant or fail errors.”

Astounding incompetence.

But there’s more good news...

The MoJ is recruiting even more over-paid salaried and fee-paid judges, as well as recruiting judges from other chambers to sit in asylum cases.

In other words, MoJ’s response is to spend more of our money and remove judges from other work.

This is because more asylum seekers “are now representing themselves and that this requires additional support from tribunal staff.”

“The system of monitoring failed asylum seekers needs a complete overhaul,” says the report.

I have a better idea. My own view?

Scrap the entire system altogether, and deport every single illegal migrant living in Britain.

And to those of you say that it’s impossible - to any MPs, public servants, or commentators who think I’m cherry-picking information, I implore you to read every word of the PAC report, every word of the NAO report, and to watch every minute of the 2.5 hour PAC meeting from earlier this year…

And then tell me that the system is working, and that’s it’s delivering value for money, and that it’s sustainable.

It isn’t. And it never will be.

It is an intentional, monumental catastrophe designed to cripple the nation economically, socially, and culturally.

A Restore Britain government will crush the entire asylum system as its first duty to the British people.

Deport them all.

South Wales Police has instructed officers to log comments they feel are beyond "legitimate" criticism of Islam.

This is, exactly as I warned, a blasphemy law through the back door.

Nobody voted for this.

You must be gutted it’s too late to prosecute them.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

This is simply a fact

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

A Restore Britain Government will deport millions of foreign freeloaders, sex pests and criminals - whether they arrived via dinghy at Dover or jumbo jet at Gatwick.

There will be no compromise or backtracking.

Millions will go.

In the Summertime is the debut single by Mungo Jerry, released in May 1970.

The band recorded the track very quickly in the studio, without traditional drums: the iconic rhythm of "chh chh chh" comes from the washboard played by Paul King.

The band's name came from a poem by T. S. Eliot ("Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer"). Released as a single, it became a global phenomenon: #1 on the UK Singles Chart for seven weeks in a row, #3 on the Billboard Hot 100, #1 in several countries and sold millions of copies.

Because I like this sort of thing I’ve done a male line family tree of the fourteen Derby runners, tracing them back to their most recent common ancestor, which, not surprisingly is Phalaris, foaled in 1913. The “real” Daddy of them all. @EpsomRacecourse @ACooperClerk

The West has created an utterly evil state religion where an accusation of “racism” is the gravest offense that can be committed, even worse than rape or murder!

So if police show up at a crime scene and a British boy is bleeding out and an immigrant says the British boy is racist the cops will cuff the dying British boy.

Natural England wants to remove 90% of Dartmoor’s ponies.

Our Exmoor ponies are next. These animals have been here for thousands of years.

A government quango, destroying the countryside and its heritage.
