Political commentator Maajid Nawaz questions why the government is refusing to release data on crimes committed by migrants, arguing that the public deserves greater transparency and accountability. As calls grow for the publication of official statistics, Nawaz says the continued absence of the data raises serious questions about how crime and migration are being discussed.

“Either they suppress the stories or gaslight the victims.” Nawaz describes what he calls an “institutional rot”, while arguing that releasing the figures could have significant political consequences. The debate centres on whether the government is withholding information that the public has a right to see—and whether the lack of transparency is undermining trust.

Labour peer Lord McCabe and Maajid Nawaz clash over who is ultimately responsible for the government's approach. With Nawaz insisting that “you are the party of government, you are responsible,” the discussion explores political accountability, transparency and the demands for migrant crime statistics to be made public.
