12. The TPA this morning

All the way back in May 2025 we warned that the Covid Inquiry would end up being the most expensive statutory inquiry in British history. Highlighting this clearly irritated those running the inquiry who branded our research as ‘flawed’.

Fast forward 11 months, and headlines broke that show, unsurprisingly, our research team was bang on the money.

More at AKH. Meanwhile:

This week, the scale and staggering cost of Britain’s illegal migration crisis became impossible to ignore. A damning report from the Home Affairs Committee revealed how migrant hotels have shifted from being a “temporary stop-gap” to the government’s “go-to solution”, with costs tripling from £4.5 billion to £15.3 billion. Even worse, the report exposed how private contractors are pocketing “excessive” profits off the backs of hardworking taxpayers.

Naturally, the TPA leapt straight into action, securing four separate media slots in one day to hammer home the message that taxpayers are being taken for a ride. Our investigations campaign manager, Callum McGoldrick, told Peter Cardwell on Talk: “If you do the maths, you can see this is clearly not value for money. What should be looked at is keeping them in short-term accommodation before deporting them.”

Further to this, it was revealed by The Sun that the Heathrow detention centre was offering £31,500 for a hairdresser job to cut the hair of illegal migrants before deportation and needed to know the  “cultural needs” of the people that they were dealing with. Having none of it, our media campaign manager told GB News viewers on Martin Daubney’s show, “I don’t think that illegal immigrants should have their haircut. The only thing that they should be having cut is the amount of time they spend in the UK”.

Between ballooning hotel bills and pampered deportees, this week proved what we at the TPA have been saying for a long time about how broken and expensive the UK’s approach to illegal immigration has become. We will keep exposing and commenting on these absurd wastes of taxpayers’ money and calling for a system that puts taxpayers, not illegal migrants, first.
