Not everyone will have read the horror show that is the cross-party @CommonsPAC report on the Home Office - after 10 years of Tory control - so here are some of the low-lights: (1/6)
The Committee “remain concerned by how little evidence the Home Office has” on immigration. There are concerns the Home Office “does not make decisions based on evidence” & instead risks making them on “anecdote, assumption and prejudice” (2/6)
The Home Office has “no idea of what impact it has achieved for the £400 million spent each year by its Immigration Enforcement” (3/6)
“The significant lack of diversity at senior levels” means the Home Office does “not access a sufficiently wide range of perspectives when establishing rules and assessing the human impact” and “the Windrush scandal demonstrated the damage such a culture creates” (4/6)
The Home Office must deliver on greater diversity “to reduce the likelihood of another Windrush-type scandal in the future” and it “does not understand the support people need to navigate its systems effectively and humanely, or how its actions affect them” (5/6)
In sort, it’s a shameful assessment of the mess and the lack of grip that has been created by this Government and on the watch of Priti Patel. They need to take urgent action on this and we will be holding them to account! (6/6)
