A recent investigation by Reform UK MP Rupert Lowe has revealed that more than £6 billion has been spent on asylum and refugee costs in Britain since 2020. The astonishing figures, uncovered by Lowe during his self-described “digging” on social media platform X, indicate that spending on these issues has ballooned into a vast network of over 200 contracts across government departments, councils, the NHS, and various private organizations.
Lowe, who represents Great Yarmouth in the House of Commons and is part of Nigel Farage’s team, claims that the expenditure is so excessive it calls for the urgent establishment of a British version of the United States Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). According to the MP, the totals he discovered reached at least £6.6 billion, and he has been vocal in denouncing what he describes as “bonkers” spending practices, according to the Express.
