Missing 53,000: Britain’s Immigration Meltdown
Ian Collins breaks down shocking new Home Office figures revealing that more than 53,000 illegal migrants are currently missing from the UK system. Former Border Force chief Tony Smith explains how Britain lost track of tens of thousands of arrivals and whether Shabana Mahmood’s crackdown can restore control. Immigration lawyer Harjap Singh Bhangal joins us to unpack what these numbers really mean, why enforcement keeps failing, and how the system could be fixed. Plus, barrister Chris Daw KC examines Labour’s explosive proposal to remove juries from up to 95% of Crown Court cases, a reform critics say will undermine centuries of British justice. We look at what the plans actually involve, whether they could survive legal challenge, and why the criminal courts are buckling in the first place. Hosted on Acast.
