Transparency? That’s so last government. Labour’s new favourite trick is making inconvenient numbers disappear faster than a minister at a press briefing. When asked for facts about migrants linked to organised crime, the Home Office basically shrugged and said, “We could find out… but that sounds like work.”

🕵️‍♂️ The Great Data Disappearing Act

So here we are — the self-proclaimed party of accountability refusing to account for anything. Want to know how many migrants with criminal links are in the UK? Too expensive. How many denied entry for supporting terror groups? Too secret. Misuse of taxpayer-funded Aspen cards? Commercially sensitive. Small boat engines seized? Sorry, mate, that’s classified marine trivia.

If this government gets any more allergic to facts, it’ll need an EpiPen labelled “Transparency.”

Parliament’s job is to scrutinise — but Labour’s turned the lights off and told everyone to stop squinting. “Disproportionate cost,” they say. As if democracy’s too pricey now. Maybe we should crowdfund an FOI request.

Because when a government decides information is optional, accountability becomes extinct. And all we’re left with is the sound of silence — or worse, the rustle of shredded data in a Westminster bin. 🗑️📉
