Great British PAC Welcomes Light at the End of the Tunnel as Justice Secretary Vows Pc Harper's Killers Will Stay in Jail

The Justice Secretary has told police chiefs he is "confident" that Albert Bowers and Jessie Cole will be excluded from the early release scheme, after a million strong petition and relentless campaigning forced a Government rethink. The Great British PAC, which first revealed the pair were among 6,000 criminals eligible for release, has welcomed the move as "light at the end of the tunnel", but warns the domestic abuse loophole must not be ignored.

Britain Is No Longer Safe for Women and Children: When, and Where, Do We Finally Draw the Line in the Sand?

When the Home Office prints a pamphlet politely explaining to asylum seekers that British women "can travel freely" and do not need a man's permission to live their lives, the pretence has collapsed. 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?

ACT NOW: Tell Britain to Stand Up for Parental Rights at the UN

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.

Great British PAC Investigation: The Watched Isles — How Britain Traded Liberty for Cameras That Don't Work

Britain 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.

Two years of Labour have made Britons less free to speak. The public has noticed

New 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.

Green Tax to Hit British Farmers: Calls to Halt Fertiliser Levy as Drought Piles Pressure on Industry

Farmers 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.
