NOW – After more than 8 months of resistance, the Home Office has been forced by the Information Commissioner to release the agenda headings from five National Asylum Stakeholder Forum (NASF) and Strategic Engagement Group (SEG) meetings held between March 2023 and March 2024.
These are the meetings where the Home Office regularly discussed asylum accommodation policy, hotel maximisation, cessations, withdrawals, the Illegal Migration Act, dispersal, and support rates with external stakeholders.
The disclosure only came after the ICO issued a formal decision notice requiring the Home Office to release the agenda headings.
Originally, the Home Office refused the request outright. In doing so, they explicitly cited my social media activity and identity as reasons for withholding the information, claiming it could cause “public backlash” and safety risks.
This directly breached the applicant-blind principle under the Freedom of Information Act.
They also refused even basic agenda headings and anonymised summaries at the time. (1/2)
YOU COULD NOT MAKE THIS UP IF YOU TRIED ......A Blackburn councillor who was fined for fly tipping a whole van load of his household rubbish at Witton Park in 2021 , has just been handed the enviromental porfolio, hes now responsible for fly tipping !! Hussain Akhtar got a £400 fine for doing his own dumping and now is in charge of enviromenatl matters !! Oh if you didnt laugh you would cry , this country is insane
A young girl in Scotland who defended herself against migrants, only to be vilified by the media, has now been vindicated in court.
Those same migrants were found guilty of directing sexual remarks at the girls.
The British media owe her and her family an apology.
This really worries me
A month ago in Wales I suffered a ruptured aneurysm in my abdomen. I lost over 2 units of blood
But the Welsh ambulance service refused to send an ambulance. I was still breathing so apparently didn't need one
I spent 7 hours lying on the ground in a car park. Every time I moved I threw up from the pain. The owners of the car park called 999 6x
One of the people there was a fireman. He couldn't believe that 999 treated each call as a separate incident and couldn't see the details or link to previous calls. He was frustrated because they could see I was seriously ill but you can't see internal bleeding and so there was no way to persuade 999 that it actually was an emergency
Eventually my husband arrived by taxi, journey of more than 3 hours from our home
He gave me my pain meds (the car park people were worried about liability and I was too ill to get them myself). This meant I was able to crawl into the car and he drove me to A&E
He got me into a wheelchair. We waited 75 minutes to see a doctor. I was shivering, heaped with blankets and threw up all over the floor
As soon as a doctor looked at me I was taken straight to resus. The next day I was transfered by blue light ambulance to another hospital, had a blood transfusion and spent 5 days on the high dependency unit
If my husband hadn't been able to come and look after me I have no idea how I would have survived. As it was I nearly didn't
I would not have been able to get myself to hospital nor would I have been able to log into some digital triage system
This scheme seems to assume if you're seriously ill you'll arrive by ambulance and if not you're well enough to navigate a digital portal
My experience suggests that's a dangerous assumption
A week later, back home in England I had another ruptured aneurysm. This time an ambulance came in 2 hours and again I was taken straight to resus
It wasn't the same because I had a recent diagnosis of a ruptured aneurysm so we could tell 999 I was almost certainly bleeding internally. But I was too ill to get myself down the stairs and out to the car. We still needed that ambulance and I still wouldn't have been able to fiddle around with an ipad
Proper triage REQUIRES an actual doctor to look at the patient. It takes a matter of minutes to differentiate between a life threatening emergency and not a life threatening emergency. That's not minutes to get a diagnosis but to know that the person is stable or not stable and if not that needs immediate attention
Seriously ill people can't do it themselves. It doesn't matter how smart or articulate they are normally. Or how tough. Expecting people to manage their own emergency care isn't what a modern health service should do

UK GOVERNMENT SACKED ITS OWN BORDER WATCHDOG
David Neal was the man the government hired to inspect UK borders and make sure they actually worked. He did exactly that. What he found was not good. He wrote it all up in official reports. The Home Office locked those reports in a drawer.
When he finally went to a newspaper to warn the public that private planes were landing in the UK with almost nobody checking who was on them, the Home Secretary James Cleverly @JamesCleverly fired him.
Here is what Neal actually found.
At London City Airport, only 21% of flights flagged as high risk were checked by immigration officers.
Not some of the time. As a yearly average.
He said it was a scandal and dangerous for the country.
The Home Office said he had the numbers wrong. Then they fired him.
At the moment he was sacked, the @HomeOffice was holding back 15 of his finished inspection reports. Some had been sitting there for 18 months without being shown to the public.
The agreed deadline for publishing them was eight weeks. Not one report met that deadline across his entire three years in the job.
When they finally released 13 of the reports, they chose to do it on the same afternoon that a separate major inquiry published its findings... Draw your own conclusions.
What was actually in those reports? Border control posts left with nobody manning them. Officers at e-passport gates described as distracted and without basic radios. The whole airport border operation rated as neither effective nor efficient.
Neal told MPs directly: I have been sacked for doing my job.
He also told @BBC the Home Office is dysfunctional and described senior officials rolling their eyes when he brought them his findings.
He said the government contacted him three separate times warning him not to speak publicly about the unpublished reports.
He had almost no other way to get the information out.
The people who fired him for raising border security concerns were the same people who spent years promising the public they had taken back control of the borders.

We owe those who serve the UK the kit to do the job and the loyalty to stand by them when it's done. We are failing on both.
I’ve spent my whole time in government making that case. Number 10 will not listen, so I am resigning as Minister for the Armed Forces.

Iain Dale left stunned by calm caller on LBC
A composed caller named Mike told Iain Dale on LBC that Britain “will remain almost ungovernable until we have mass deportations”.
The exchange was striking because the caller spoke in measured tones, clearly articulating a view held by millions of people across the country. Yet Iain struggled to process it, repeatedly falling back on “you can’t do that”.
Mike highlighted the obvious disconnect: the British public have consistently voted for lower immigration, only for politicians to deliver record levels instead.
“There’s a massive disconnect between the political class and the people of this country,” he said. “We never gave any consent to this and there’s certainly no mandate for the scale of immigration we’ve seen.”
When Iain pushed back, saying you can’t deport people here perfectly legally, the caller was unflinching:
Caller: “You mean end indefinite leave to remain?”
Iain: “You can do that for future people but you can’t do that for people who have already got it. That would be outrageous.”
Caller: “Yeah you can. Of course you can.”
Iain: “From a fairness point of view, you can’t suddenly tell people who’ve got a perfect legal right to be here that we’re changing the rules now…”
Caller: “You can, Iain.”
Iain: “Well you can do that but is that really the kind of country you want to live in?”
Caller: “Yes!”
Iain continued to argue that you can’t “take it out on perfectly legal, law-abiding people”, clearly unable to grasp how widespread this frustration has become.
The public didn’t always feel this way. Years of politicians ignoring the public on immigration have shifted attitudes dramatically. As the caller made clear, people never voted for this transformation and the consequences of fixing it now rest with those who created the problem.
Well worth a listen. The gap between Westminster and the rest of the country has rarely been clearer.
THE DOSSIER #13: Rachel Reeves – The Counterfeit Chancellor
Born 13 February 1979 in Lewisham. PPE from Oxford and LSE. The factory that produces frauds who falsify their way to power.
You claimed publication in the Journal of Political Economy. Your Who's Who entry. One of the most prestigious economics journals in the world. You lied. Your paper appeared in the European Journal of Political Economy, similarly named, vastly less prestigious. You traded on name confusion. You claimed elite credentials you never earned.
You claimed a "decade at the Bank of England." Six years. September 2000 to December 2006. You inflated your experience by 67%. The "decade" that built your credibility was a lie.
You called yourself an "economist." Then quietly changed it to "retail banking" when exposed. Administrative support handling complaints. Not an economist. Not a technocrat. A paper-pusher with edited LinkedIn profiles and fabricated journal entries.
You claimed you "wrote" a book. "Copy and Paste Chancellor." Plagiarized content from other authors. When caught, your spokesman blamed "administrative errors by her team." The coward's excuse. Blame the staff for your own falsehoods.
Labour Together bought your intellect for £31,698.36. "Research and writing services." A think tank paid the Shadow Chancellor to write her speeches. They purchased your thoughts. You sold your mind before you sold your soul.
FGS Global gave you £12,929 for a reception. Corporate lobbyists. Private water CEOs. Private equity multimillionaires. Israel lobbyists. Private health investors. Your Chancellor's robes are stitched with their logos.
Juliet Rosenfeld bought your wardrobe. £7,500 for clothing. You called her an "old friend" who wanted you to "look smart." The Chancellor took dress money from donors while pensioners froze.
You hiked employer National Insurance. 50,000 jobs died. Businesses fled to America. To Europe. You stood there and lied. "The economy is fine." The OBR cut forecasts. The pound fell. You blamed the Tories.
You froze winter fuel payments. Pensioners sat in the cold. You created a £22 billion black hole. Let welfare balloon £16 billion more. Broke your own fiscal rules. Twice. Bond markets lost confidence. Capital fled. Skilled workers followed.
You spend billions on foreign aid and climate targets while British high streets empty. While businesses board up. Then you call anyone who notices "far-right." The markets see through you. The world sees through you. Britain pays.
Open borders. Flooded labour markets. Wages suppressed. While you tax the working class into oblivion.
You are the most unpopular Chancellor in history. Net favourability: -59. Seventy-one percent unfavourable. The worst ratings since tracking began in 1976. You beat every Chancellor who ever held the red box. You are the gold standard of failure.
You broke down in the Commons. The tearful appearance. The "killjoy demeanour" your advisers thought would build trust. The public saw weakness. The markets saw chaos.
You are Vice-Chair of Labour Friends of Israel. You abstained on Palestinian statehood. You support the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation while blocking recognition of Palestinian statehood. The hypocrisy is international.
You own a house in South London. While you represent Leeds West and Pudsey. While you tax the North into poverty. The commute from your London home is longer than your commitment to your voters.
You are not an economist. You are not a Chancellor. You are a serial fabricator who lied about journals, employment duration, job titles, and book authorship. You are a fraud in a borrowed suit, bought by donors, crying in Parliament while Britain burns.
Your CV is ash. Your credibility is gone. Your Chancellorship is a monument to deception.
Permanent exile awaits, Rachel Reeves. Congratulations. You are The Dossier. Your betrayal of Britain is now complete.
The Border Stays Open. The State Will Close the Conversation.
Before the fires in Belfast had been extinguished, the government had identified the threat. Not the border. Not the system that granted Hadi Alodid legal residency in seven months without a verifiable European asylum history. Not the Albanian gangs advertising guaranteed passage to England on TikTok this morning. The threat, as defined by this government, was the conversation.
Liz Kendall announced on Wednesday that social media firms would face new legal curbs during times of crisis. Platforms would be required to remove incendiary content more quickly when tensions were heightened. The definition of crisis and the definition of incendiary would be set by ministers. On the same day, Jonathan Hall, the government's own terror watchdog, said he had raised the national security dimension of mass migration with the government and received no reply. One question got legislation within forty-eight hours. The other got silence. Stephen Ogilvie lost an eye on a Belfast street. The government's legislative response targets the people describing what happened.
This is not new. After the summer 2024 riots the same reflex operated. People were jailed for social media posts within days of the disorder. The sentences handed to those who wrote the posts sat in the same range as those who burned the buildings. The machinery of the state was directed at speech about disorder rather than the conditions producing it. Belfast is the same pattern at higher intensity. The border stays open. Discussion of what happens at the border will be suppressed more quickly next time.
The British asylum system did not malfunction in the case of Hadi Alodid. It performed. Sudan to Paris. Paris to Dublin. Dublin to Belfast by bus. Asylum claimed in February 2023. Refugee status granted by September. Legal right to remain until 2028. There is no French record of him as an asylum seeker. The Irish government will not say how he entered Ireland. None of that prevented the system from processing him correctly by its own rules. The rules are the problem. The government has no intention of changing them.
Albanian gangs are advertising the same route on TikTok today. Filmed inside Dublin airport. Guaranteed passage. Seven thousand pounds payable on arrival. Operation Gull has arrested more than 900 people using it in a year and the advertisements continue. Enforcement is cataloguing this. It is not closing it.
Jonathan Hall, the government's own independent reviewer of terror legislation, said immigration must be treated as a national security issue. He said he had raised whether migrants from certain countries presented elevated risks of serious violence. The government responded with silence. The terror watchdog, a King's Counsel appointed to scrutinise national security law, is recording not a political failure but an institutional one. The question was asked through proper channels. Nobody answered.
The pattern is coherent even if the government will not name it. The terror watchdog raises the national security dimension of mass migration and hears nothing. The gangs film themselves inside Dublin airport and advertise openly. The border operates as it always has. And ministers announce that posts about the consequences will be removed more quickly next time. That is not an oversight. That is a set of priorities.
A government that cannot close a border it knows is being exploited, cannot answer its own terror watchdog, and cannot explain how a man with no verifiable asylum history acquired British residency in seven months has chosen a fourth option. Control the account. Leave the causes intact.
"Liz Kendall announced on Wednesday that social media firms would face new legal curbs during times of crisis."
Family of the N Ireland stabbed man say many migrants make valuable contributions to the UK, condemn disorder and don't want to divide people or fuel violence.
And again Hard and Far Right extremists like Musk, Yaxley-Lennon, Farage and Lowe fan flames.

🚨 Keir Starmer is standing in Parliament today promising billions for NATO and new defence investments to impress the global elite at the July summit.
This is the same man who cannot keep British citizens safe walking down their own streets. Who told the public to "stay calm" after what happened in Belfast. Who releases terrorists early against expert advice. Who arrests people for tweets while knife crime hits record levels.
He will defend Ukraine's borders. He will defend NATO's reputation. He will defend whatever the international establishment needs him to defend.
He just will not defend you.
