It is time to freeze the asylum system. A record numbers of applications, an appeals backlog at record levels, and a £5bn annual cost are all signs that the system is broken.

Low-skill care workers and their dependants enjoyed visa fee reductions and were exempt from the Immigration Health Surcharge - giving them immediate access to the NHS free of charge. It is “unfair” that the taxpayer should be required to support them. telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/06/2…

For every vote Burnham received last week, 66 BorisWave migrants are set to be given the indefinite right to live in Britain, claim welfare, and bring over family members. A future centre-right govt. must commit to rescinding ILR grants and, if necessary, naturalisation grants.

There are over 1 million illegal migrants living in Britain - imposing huge social and economic costs. The removal of all illegal entrants & visa overstayers is a national imperative. The CMC supports the principles of the Mass Deportation Coalition.

Research Director at the Centre for Migration Control Rob Bates, believes it is time the UK introduced stronger verification checks on migrants. A migrant has been jailed for sexual assaults after falsely claiming to be a minor. 📺 Freeview 236, Sky 512, Virgin 604

Burnham's victory should concern those who want to end the chaos of mass legal and illegal migration. As set out by @technopopulist - he previously fought against measures to tackle illegal migration and is against a clampdown on ILR. thecritic.co.uk/andy-burnhams-…

Over two million migrants claimed benefits last year, including one and a half million Universal Credit claimants. And this is before the low-wage, low-skill BorisWave obtains Indefinite Leave to Remain. migrationcentral.co.uk/p/one-and-a-ha…

Didn't even have the guts to approach us for comment. What a mess! Ideological pro-migration activists like Nafeez know the game is up, which is why they're resorting to smears and innuendo.

Andy Burnham wants Channel migrants to have the “unrestrained” right to work - a huge pull factor that would pour petrol on the crisis. migrationcentral.co.uk/p/andy-burnham…

Germany is continuing to deport foreign criminals back to Afghanistan. There is no reason for Britain to not follow suit. Home Office paralysis on this issue is endangering the public and acting as a pull factor for illegal migrants.

Yesterday 710 migrants crossed the Channel - a record for small boat crossings so far this year. "It's an incredibly worrying state of affairs - it effectively does mean that we have an open border!" @TVKev

Right, time for the Truth. The smoke and mirrors and blatant deceit going on in the asylum system is horrifying. Nothing the public is told is reliable. Hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants are unaccounted for. Home Office hasn’t got a clue where they are. Government is shovelling migrants out of asylum hotels and giving them money to find a place to stay in the community. Desperate to look like the backlog is coming down. Asylum caseworkers are granting leave to remain to known sex offenders from Eritrea, Sudan and Afghanistan because they are not allowed to refuse applicants from those “unsafe” countries. It’s a sick joke. The safety of women and children is at risk and these bullshit graphs are shared to prove how things are improving. Things are NOT improving. Asylum caseworkers know it’s a ticking timebomb. Another Belfast attack can happen any day.

Wes Streeting wants to loosen immigration restrictions & Andy Burnham wants migrants to have access to welfare as soon as they arrive. Behind all the PR spin, the Labour Party wants to continue and increase hyper-mass migration.

A population cap is likely the wrong measure to tackle the damage of mass migration. But the contempt with which the BBC reported on Swiss migration concerns - “blaming asylum seekers and minorities for societal problems” - is incredibly telling.

Exclusive: More than 100,000 failed asylum seekers are feared to be living in Britain illegally because they haven’t been deported, the Sunday Express can reveal. Some 2,000 people who first sought sanctuary in 2010 are still in the UK. And more than 26,000 have been here for at least a decade despite losing their cases, according to Home Office figures. In total, 108,022 people refused protection after claiming asylum between 2010 and 2024 have not been removed. One in four people who first claimed asylum in 2010 still hadn’t been returned by March 2026. Some 26,850 failed asylum seekers who first claimed asylum between 2010 and 2016 haven’t been returned. And then the Channel migrant crisis began… and the scandal of asylum seekers switching from work, study and visitor visas. In short, there’s an extraordinary deportation backlog that is growing at an alarming rate. More on this to come.

Migrants founding working illegally at DPD depots. The government needs to urgently introduce more stringent right to work checks, increase fines, and prosecute individuals.

The Irish government opted to join the EU's Asylum Pact which comes into force tomorrow - requiring Ireland to take migrants that arrive elsewhere in Europe. The govt's implementation strategy inexplicably believes there will be no "negative implications" of this for the CTA.

🚨BBC: Asylum seekers "are more likely to commit crime". We first published our research last year on the link between open borders and crime. The BBC was silent. They have now been forced by reality - kicking and screaming - to report our findings and admit the link.
