Shabana Mahmood says Home Office not fit for purpose' after secret report emerges
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. 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 Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls."
"The report identified a catalogue of failings across the Home Office, claiming it was beset by a culture of defeatism on immigration and a sense that high failure rates are an unavoidable fact of life in the system. The "hand-offs between immigration enforcement and other parts of the immigration system are poor, as are the hand-offs with the police and criminal justice system", the dossier said."
Journalists cover reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, and donations enable continued on-the-ground reporting and bipartisan interviews. The outlet avoids paywalls and relies on supporters who can afford to fund accessible quality journalism. Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said the Home Office is not yet fit for purpose after a secret damning report. The report catalogued systemic failings, described a culture of defeatism on immigration, and noted that high failure rates were regarded as inevitable. The dossier found poor hand-offs between immigration enforcement, other parts of the immigration system, the police, and the criminal justice system. It was written by former special adviser Nick Timothy and kept secret for more than two years.
