Thousands of asylum claims unresolved after three years, damning analysis finds
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"The National Audit Office (NAO) found that almost half - 56 per cent - of the 5,000 people who made an initial asylum claim in January 2023 did not have a final outcome by September 2025. Some 2,812 people did not have a conclusion in their asylum claim, the report published on Wednesday said. Of those who did not have their case resolved, 1,369 were withdrawn, disqualified or suspended."
A major news outlet deploys reporters to cover developing stories across reproductive rights, climate change, and technology, avoiding paywalls and seeking donations to fund reporting.

The National Audit Office found that 56 percent of the 5,000 people who made initial asylum claims in January 2023 lacked final outcomes by September 2025. Of 2,812 unresolved cases, 1,369 were withdrawn, disqualified, or suspended. Poor Home Office data hindered tracking, a quarter awaited appeal decisions, and only nine percent were removed after unsuccessful applications.
