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.
A good point raised by Chris Hinchliff MP.
“Absurdly for a country as wet as ours, we are hurtling towards a future where we are 6 billion litres of water short every year and the huge demands of tech companies AI data centres will only make that worse.”
🚨 CORONEL DEL EJÉRCITO BRITÁNICO DICE QUE LA GUERRA CIVIL ENTRE CRISTIANOS Y MUSULMANES EN EL REINO UNIDO ES INEVITABLE
"El Reino Unido se encamina hacia una guerra civil porque el gobierno teme detener la islamización del país."
What does it feel like to be British?
It feels like being a second class citizen in your own country, paying for foreigners to loot and rape you, while your rulers call you evil if you complain.
Various death threats received for criticising the rampant sexism within Islam - the police have been informed.
We will not be intimidated.
I said that there is finally a political party willing to stand up for our Christian values, and I meant it.
Restore Britain.
NEW: Sun reporting Downing Street and Foreign Office have contacted the Trump admin for “clarification” on US comments about UK civilisational decline and two tier policing.
What needs clarifying, exactly? Everyone but the Labour government can see it.
There needs to be a debate on folic acid.
Government are mandating this DRUG be added to our BREAD.
It is a massive issue for the health of millions.
Please sign so that parliament can challenge the decision.

I believe something much bigger is going underground.

Terrifying, Islamic scholar in France reveals:
"In 30 years, France, Belgium and Europe will be Muslim. In Brussels today, Muslims are 43% of the population. Among the youth, Muslims are already the majority.
Infidels should be ready, it's going to get very difficult for them!"
SEVEN WHISTLEBLOWERS. ONE DEAD WOMAN. ONE KNIGHTHOOD FOR THE MAN WHO IGNORED THEM
In 1999, seven care workers at a BUPA care home in Bromley reported abuse of vulnerable elderly residents.
They followed every rule. They submitted formal evidence. They did everything the law required.
Edna had no family. She was entirely defenceless. Seven people risked everything to speak up for her.
Every one of them lost their job.
Edna died.
The man who received the evidence and chose to act on none of it became Sir Des Kelly OBE, a government advisor on elderly care, head of the National Care Forum, and a welcome contributor to CQC @CareQualityComm policy on the very sector where his inaction let an abuser harm more people.
You genuinely cannot make this up.
These seven became known as the BUPA7. They were the first people in UK history to use the Public Interest Disclosure Act (PIDA), the law that was supposed to protect whistleblowers. The law that failed them so badly that other workers across the country saw what happened and quietly decided it was safer to say nothing.
That silence has cost lives. It still does.
Eileen Chubb @CompassnInCare, one of the BUPA7, has spent every year since building Compassion in Care and supporting over 13,000 whistleblowers. She has seen the exact same pattern repeat itself across the NHS, social care, finance, construction, and local government.
Report wrongdoing. Lose your job. Watch the wrongdoing continue untouched.
Even if a whistleblower wins at an employment tribunal under PIDA, nobody is legally required to fix the problem they reported. The abuse can just carry on. The risks remain. The tribunal hands out a payout and everyone goes home.
Mid Staffs. Gosport. Rotherham. Bristol Babies. Winterbourne View. In every single one of these cases, someone knew. Someone spoke up. And the system destroyed them for it while the wrongdoing continued.
Robert Francis produced his Freedom to Speak Up review in 2015. Joint investigations by Compassion in Care and @PrivateEyeNews later revealed that the CQC @CareQualityComm lied to the public for years, falsely claiming it had closed 100 care homes when the real number was two.
The same CQC had invited Des Kelly's input into its policy on the sector he had already failed so catastrophically.
Nothing meaningfully changed.
Eileen Chubb is calling for Edna's Law. A law that would make it a criminal offence to ignore a genuine whistleblower, put wrongdoers in front of a criminal court instead of an employment tribunal, protect whistleblowers as protected witnesses, and force corrective action on the actual wrongdoing.
The State would prosecute. Not the whistleblower, who is currently expected to become a legal expert and fight experienced barristers alone.
The petition has 7,417 signatures. It has been running for a while.
It is addressed to Sir Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer.
If you want to protect the public, you protect the people willing to protect the public.
Sign the petition. Share it. Write to your MP.
Because the alternative is just waiting for the next inquiry. The next preventable scandal. The next name we will all say we should have done something about.

Nothing but respect for women except those who can’t drive or direct or carol vorders who you’d like to smell and lick…yeah hollow words @RobKenyonReform
🚨 WATCH: An audience member tells Reform candidate Rob Kenyon that she'd "rather have a career politician than a plumber who's a sexist"
"I won't accept that label... I was brought up by women. I have nothing but respect for women"

Well one person from Wigan was left behind by the bbc - Rebecca standing for @RestoreBritain and polling at least third has been deliberately omitted from the panel Shane on @bbcquestiontime. Let’s hope she wins and you have egg on your face.
"Get normal people in politics, people who care about the place... and not use it as a stepping stone for other things"
Reform UK's Robert Kenyon says less “career politicians” would “certainly help” politics, saying people in Wigan have been “left behind”
