A petition campaign is pressing the British government to veto the UN Population Fund's next five year country programmes, claiming they smuggle "gender ideology" into classrooms. Behind the alarmist language lies a routine, livestreamed approval process, and a much older argument about who controls what children learn.
Vicky Richter · 26 August 2026Following the announcement of a major new programme of social and affordable housebuilding across England, the Great British PAC is calling for thousands of pairs of eyes across the country to watch what is being proposed in our communities.
Vicky Richter · 25 August 2026Britain likes to see itself as a land of liberty, but it has quietly become one of the most watched societies on earth. From more than 420,000 CCTV cameras in London to live facial recognition vans on high streets and biometric systems in supermarkets, surveillance has become a normal part of daily life. Politicians promise greater safety and control. Yet the results are often meagre, the legal safeguards remain weak, and the costs, to privacy, anonymity and public trust, are mounting. This piece asks whether Britain’s surveillance boom is solving crime, or simply changing the country into somewhere less free.
Vicky Richter · 24 August 2026New polling commissioned by the civil rights organisation Liberty has found that 51 per cent of Britons believe their right to free speech has been eroded in the two years since Labour took office, with only 10 per cent saying their rights have improved. From Home Office travel bans on political speakers to the mass arrests of protesters, the survey points to a deepening public anxiety about the state of free expression in Britain. Great British PAC examines the findings, the record behind them, and what the incoming Prime Minister must do to restore confidence in this most fundamental of freedoms.
Vicky Richter · 24 August 2026Farmers face a doubling of fertiliser prices when Labour's net zero border tax arrives in January 2027, academic research suggests. With the worst harvest on record following a summer of drought, the NFU is demanding the Government postpone the carbon border adjustment mechanism, warning it will add up to £70 a tonne to fertiliser costs and push food prices higher for 29 million households. Critics say the levy, which mirrors measures imposed by the EU, raises fundamental questions about whether Brexit's promise of sovereignty is being quietly surrendered.
Vicky Richter · 24 August 2026A landmark study backed by Kemi Badenoch finds that abandoning Labour's wind-led decarbonisation drive in favour of gas and nuclear power could save Britain £320bn by 2050, cutting the typical household's costs by £540 a year.
Vicky Richter · 21 August 2026Almost 20,000 foreign criminals earmarked for deportation are living freely in Britain's communities, a record high that has surged nearly ten per cent since Labour came to power. Experts warn the Government's early release scheme is pouring fuel on the fire.
Vicky Richter · 21 August 2026A campaign group in North Yorkshire has claimed that Home Office plans to place more than 1,200 asylum seekers at the former RAF base at Linton-on-Ouse could cost taxpayers upwards of £500 a night for every migrant, drawing on published figures for the abandoned Scampton scheme to argue that the project would represent extraordinarily poor value for money.
Vicky Richter · 20 August 2026Home Office guidance tells asylum seekers that rape, domestic abuse, child abuse, forced marriage and female genital mutilation are criminal offences in Britain. Great British PAC asks why taxpayers must fund leaflets explaining that British women and children must not be abused.
Vicky Richter · 20 August 2026The United Kingdom produces 60 percent of the food it eats, down from 65 percent in a single year. While Beijing marshals the full weight of the state to dominate global protein supply chains, British farmers from Cumbria to County Antrim are warning they cannot hold the line. The Great British PAC says food sovereignty is being surrendered, farm by farm, and it will be felt at every dinner table in the country.
Vicky Richter · 19 August 2026Twelve months after the first protest outside the Cladhan Hotel, the building on Kemper Avenue stands empty. For the people of Falkirk, it is proof that showing up works.
Vicky Richter · 19 August 2026Andy Burnham became Prime Minister without a single vote cast for him in that role. Now polling shows a majority of voters believe he should seek his own mandate, insiders are urging him to go to the country, and the ghost of Gordon Brown's "election that never was" looms large. But with the Right still divided, calling an election would be an enormous gamble.
