Looking for new posts…
We knew this would happen. It is the inevitable consequence of suspending the family reunion route.
More women and children will die in the Channel and this government will have more blood on their hands. All to chase down Reform, all for power.

It's a book written very much from on the ground, told through the eyes of a host of characters, which will shed light on how society treats those it has a duty to protect and the ways in which our institutions fail them. Out 3 April 2025. 🧡

I'll also be taking you inside the Home Office during my time there, as the hostile environment was being rolled out, and up to the current moment. We'll walk the corridors with insiders as crises and scandals emerge and see how ministers respond.

In it, we meet the coastguard coordinating search and rescue ops in the Channel. The asylum decision-makers hired from McDonald's and Aldi to conduct 'life and death' interviews. The immigration barristers securing last-minute reprieves for deportees who narrowly escaped death.
