Vicky Richter · 16 September 2026"At best 1 per cent of asylum seekers are genuine." That is the estimate of an anonymous Home Office decision-maker, not an official statistic.

Britain is no longer safe for women and children, and the government's answer is a leaflet. As rapes soar to 74,700 a year and the Ministry of Justice fights the Information Commissioner to keep nationality data hidden, the Great British PAC asks the only question that still matters: when, and where, do we finally draw the line in the sand?
