The secrecy about housing illegal immigrants is totally unacceptable.

I've pursued the Home Office about it for months.

In her latest obfuscation, @angelaeagle claims MPs are "routinely engaged". But also says she'll tell us only "as is necessary".

In other words: never. 🧵 Image

Here are the questions I've asked and the non-answers I've received.

Remember, we're talking about mostly male illegal immigrants from misogynistic cultures being moved into quiet towns and residential streets.

Labour want you kept in the dark.

Essex Police escorted agitators to confront local protestors after a migrant allegedly attacked a child in Epping.

I asked the Chief Constable serious questions.

But he refused to answer. So I have referred him to the Home Affairs Select Committee.

My reply to him and a 🧵 Image There is no legal right for counter-protestors to be taken to the location of the protest they oppose.

But this is what Essex Police appear to have done.

And in doing so they made violence more likely, not less. telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/2…

Following new reports of police officers helping the rape gangs and raping and beating victims, I’ve written to the Home Secretary.

There must be a National Crime Agency investigation into bent cops, councillors and others.

Labour keep saying no. My letter and a 🧵 Image I’ve been calling for this since the start of the year.

Cooper says she’s introducing a “duty to report” but this is irrelevant:

- that only applies to future cases
- the police already had legal duties. The point is that these officers ignored them.

We need some honesty and transparency about the abuse of our asylum system.

Labour are hiding illegal immigrants in the welfare system and covering up how much it costs you.

The statistics we do get about how asylum seekers come here are shocking. 🧵 gov.uk/government/pub… Open border activists would have you believe that these people are arriving fresh from warzones and persecution.

In fact, the asylum system is being used as a backdoor into the country by people who have already been here for a while on temporary visas and don’t want to leave. Image

This story confirms what witnesses said.

The police bussed left-wing campaigners - some apparently masked - to the Bell Hotel.

Thus facilitating a confrontation with locals angry about an alleged sex attack on a child by a migrant.

We need answers. 🧵 telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/07/2… 1. Who made this decision?
2. What did the chief constable know and when?
3. When was the police and crime commissioner informed?
4. What is the nature of the relationship between Essex Police and Stand Up To Racism?
5. And similar organisations like Hope Not Hate?

The Afghan resettlement scheme revealed this week and the secrecy around it were utterly wrong.

But this is not the only way in which asylum decisions are kept secret from the public.

A 🧵 on how this government is covering up the reality of its policies. After the disorder last year an internal government paper said asylum hotels had "stoked community tensions" and were a "critical factor behind the summer riots."

When I asked the Government to publish the paper, ministers refused. questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questi…Image

Twenty years ago Islamists attacked London, murdering 52 and injuring 784.

They were British Muslims from Leeds and Aylesbury.

We do not honour the victims by denying the facts, or pretending we have prevailed against this danger.

We owe it to all to tell the truth. The murderers did this in the name of their religion, and their ideology.

Loose talk of “British values” will not do.

They and their allies despise us and our way of life.

Their ideology says they will one rule this country as part of an Islamic caliphate.

The Public Order Act has become Britain’s backdoor Islamic blasphemy law.

The Bill I introduced this week would restore our free speech.

Here is the Bill and this is how it works. 🧵 Image The misuse of Sections 4A and 5 of that Act is the problem.

They make it a crime to use “threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour” that cause somebody else “harassment, alarm or distress.” legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1986/64

Labour say aligning with the EU carbon price will save £800 million a year but the costs - £1.2 billion - outweigh the savings.

Our carbon price has already gone up since their decision - and it will increase further.

It’s complicated but this explains what’s going on (1/n). At the start of the year, UK allowances (UKAs) traded at £36 per tonne while the EU allowances (EUAs) traded at double the price.

But now UKAs are trading at £53 and EUAs are only £18 higher. ice.com/products/80216…

Time and again, Labour have refused to be open about their engagement with organisations and individuals linked to Islamism.

I have challenged them repeatedly, but they refuse to be straight with the public. (1/n) LIE: Answering a parliamentary question, the Communities Minister said “the department does not engage with the European Islamic Centre.”

The EIC is associated with the Islamist idealogues Jamaat-e-Islami and Abul A’la al-Maududi. questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questi…

Labour tried to announce its India trade deal without even mentioning immigration until Conservative MPs dragged the truth out of him.

Some are now claiming that the NICs exemption will not impact immigration at all.

But this is not the case (1/n). The reason why this deal is so far-reaching compared with previous FTAs is because Labour surrendered to India’s demands on service workers.

You can see how pleased Indian officials were with Starmer’s concessions yesterday in my previous thread.

The British government says the new India trade agreement does not change immigration policy.

But that’s not what the Indian government says.

A quick thread (1/n). India’s Prime Minister has boasted that this new deal will deliver a Double Contribution Convention - meaning Indian workers in Britain pay less tax than Brits.

The consequences for our labour market could be huge.

Almost every business and public service I meet in my constituency faces serious problems with regulation and regulators.

Wonks often very smugly say nobody can point to regulations that should go, so this is a rolling thread listing the examples I find every week (1/n). Image Nyobolt in Haverhill has designed high-power batteries with ultra-fast charging times.

Yet last year the Environment Agency refused to issue it with a permit to use its furnace, even though everybody knew it would not release anything noxious... nyobolt.com

Jim McMahon, a Communities Minister, has attended an iftar event organised by the European Islamic Centre - a group with very disturbing connections (1/6). jimmcmahon.co.uk/2025/03/24/com… As its own publications make clear, the European Islamic Centre "is a part of the UKIM". That is, the UK Islamic Mission. eic.org.ukImage

Knife crime and youth violence have been a problem for years, long before smart phones and Andrew Tate.

The latest discourse - following Adolescence - is as predictable as it's depressing, as many choose to ignore the facts and head to where they're comfortable (1/n). Tate is clearly a monster, and smart phones are obviously a problem with kids accessing inappropriate material and missing out on other experiences as they spend hours online.

I would ban smartphones in schools, and block children from using social media altogether.

In PMQs on Wednesday I was so shocked by Keir Starmer’s lies and obfuscation I went through the record and found he told 25 porkies in only 30 minutes.

A thread below, starting with the most glaring example.
hansard.parliament.uk/commons/2025-0… 1. “What did the Conservatives leave? Interest rates were at 11%”
IN FACT the base rate was below 1% for 12 of the 14 Conservative years in power, and the peak was less than half what Starmer claimed – 5.25%. bankofengland.co.uk/boeapps/databa…Image

A rushed new defence policy raises five risks:
1 Rearming without reindustrialising
2 Spending more on the wrong military strategy
3 Making commitments we may regret
4 Adopting a Russia strategy forgetting wider threats
5 Getting caught between the US and EU.
Long thread… Rearming without reindustrialising would mean dependence on foreign suppliers.

The US can afford to spend 5% of GDP on defence because its contractors are overwhelmingly American.

We have some big players, eg Rolls Royce, but lack the same industrial base.

There is undeniably a perception among some members of the public that there is two-tier policing and justice in this country.

The Home Secretary refutes this, so I asked her what statistical analysis had been conducted to justify her denial.

The answer is none (1/5). Image

There are certainly questions about lots of cases. The rape gangs. The policing of speech online. The anti-Israel marches. The prosecution of the man who burned the Quran. The treatment of the boy in Wakefield. Allison Pearson. The approaches to disorder we saw last summer:

While it is clearly offensive to burn a text revered as holy by many, Parliament has not determined that it should be illegal. Blasphemy laws were repealed fully in 2008 (1/4). That a protest against an idea - even a religious one - should be covered by Section 4a of the Public Order Act 1986 (intentional harassment, alam or distress), or the Criminal Justice Act 1998, which extended such offences when racially or religiously aggravated, is ridiculous.

Ed Miliband’s plan to decarbonise the grid by 2030 is based on increasing the carbon price to £147 per tonne of carbon dioxide emitted.

As I said in my speech last night, that would mean the destruction of industry in this country (1/4). Yesterday Britain's energy intensive industries told the Industry Minister that they "will not be able to bear" the carbon price assumptions in the NESO report on decarbonising the grid by 2030. eiug.co.uk/wp-content/upl…

Behold the socialist logic that drives our suicidal energy policies.

Chris Stark, put in charge of decarbonising the Grid by Ed Miliband, says data centres vital for AI must be located not where it suits business, or where tech workers are, but where it suits the Grid (1/6). This is a Soviet mentality for an industry in which Britain has a starting advantage, thanks in particular to DeepMind. Yet it’s being jeopardised by recklessly ideological Milibandism.

And that is not more from Mr Stark’s answer.
