Speaking in the House of Commons on 19 November 2025

Debate

Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill

Contribution

Records of the number of people arriving in the country illegally and disputing their age were previously published, but that data has been hidden since the Government came to power. Why is that? This week, the Government looked like they were beginning to make a start on overhauling our asylum system. The current situation is not tenable, but as always, they are bold on rhetoric and weak on action. Whether it is on economic growth, policing, energy, or asylum, they say one thing, and their actions achieve the exact opposite.
