People often ask me the same question: “what can I do to help make a difference?” Well, here’s something you can do right now.
You can help support my new national campaign to get the government to hand over crucial information that’s being deliberately withheld from the British people.
That’s right.
As I’ve written on this Substack, the government and the state routinely blame the British people for “misinformation” while withholding information from them.
It’s utterly outrageous.
And this is especially visible when it comes to the question of how mass immigration is impacting our economy, welfare, and crime.
This is not about demonising immigrants; it is about understanding how this historic and enormous policy decision is changing our society and, ultimately, how we can all build a more prosperous and socially cohesive society.
Many other countries collect this detailed information, which they use to assess how immigration is impacting things like their economy, welfare state, housing, rates of crime and repeat offending, and more.
But Britain does not collect this information or, if it does, then it does not share it.
This makes it impossible to know what is really going on. The expert class tell us mass immigration is good for the economy and our society. But how do we really know?
Furthermore, what what evidence we do have, much of which has been collected in other countries, suggests that mass immigration might be having negative effects, such as by taking more out of the economy than it’s putting in, or driving crime.
Which is why, today, I’ve coordinated and launched a national campaign, which has been endorsed and shared by all five of Reform’s Members of Parliament.
Today, they sent a letter to Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer and the Labour government demanding they take action on this issue before public trust in the entire system collapses to even lower levels than it is right now.
What I am asking for, here, is not unreasonable. Many other countries in Europe and around the world already collect and make available this information.
If the expert class believes so strongly in the importance of data, evidence, and transparency, as it routinely tells us it does, then it will have no problem making this information available to the rest of us.
The British people, in short, should be treated with the respect and decency they deserve by having the following information made available to them:
Data on income tax, National Insurance contributions, tax credits and Child Benefit data by nationality and immigration status
Data on welfare claims by nationality and immigration status
Data on arrest rates and prisoner status by nationality and immigration status
Data on the sentencing of foreign nationals, including how many are repeat offenders
Detailed data on the financial cost, per night, of hotel accommodation for illegal migrants and asylum-seekers
Data on spending programmes such as the refugee integration loan scheme
And we also demand an answer to why the Office for National Statistics has discontinued analysis of our population by nationality and when this will resume.
This is not about party politics.
This is about being able to analyse how mass immigration is changing our society and restoring public trust in a system which is either deliberately concealing this information from the people or not even collecting this information in the first place.
It has to stop. And we have to start treating British workers, British taxpayers, and British families with the respect they deserve.
And we have to start making sense of what is really going on around us —in our economy, in our welfare system, in our housing market, on our streets.
So, if you want to support my campaign here are two things you can do right now.
First, you can support us. Sorry for sounding like a broken record but if you are not yet supporting us each month, for the equivalent of buying us a pint, then please do so now. This will immediately increase our capacity and ability to spread our message on social media, run campaigns like this one, and reach millions of ordinary people.
If you genuinely want to change our national culture and politics then this is one way that you can know you are helping to bring about change.
Secondly, you can use the text I’ve made available in this tweet to send your own letter to your Member of Parliament and demand they not only ask the Labour government these same questions but request for this information to be made publicly available.
In short, if you want to move beyond complaining about the dire state of the country and the terrible decisions that are being made then now is the time to support us and help others make a difference on your behalf.
Thank you. Matt.

Keep going, history will thank you for fighting for the British people and I am incredibly grateful to you x
Very resonable requests, these answers should already have been provided for many years. Therefore shame even on earlier Conservative governments.
