The nationalities of migrants with the highest rates of crime will be revealed in official league tables for the first time under plans due to be announced by the Government today. The Telegraph has more.
Yvette Cooper, the Home Secretary, has ordered officials to publish the first detailed breakdown of offences committed by foreign criminals living in the UK while awaiting deportation.
Albanians, Romanians and Poles are expected to be among the worst offenders for crimes including violence, robbery, theft and drug dealing.
It is understood Ms Cooper overruled Home Office officials, who previously claimed it was too difficult to provide quality data on foreign criminals, telling them she wanted the figures to be published by the end of the year.
The only previous such breakdowns have been unofficial, published by the Telegraph and campaign groups who obtained the data through freedom of information requests to police forces.
The move, ahead of next month’s local elections, will be seen as an attempt to take on Tory Right-wingers who have called for the data on foreign criminals to be published and to neutralise efforts by Nigel Farage’s Reform UK to capitalise on immigration fears in Labour’s traditional heartlands.
A Labour source said: “Not only are we deporting foreign criminals at a rate never seen when Chris Philp and Robert Jenrick were in charge at the Home Office, but we will also be publishing far more information about that cohort of offenders than the Tories ever did.”
Mr Jenrick, who first called for the data to be published, welcomed the move, saying: “Following over a year of pressure from campaigners, including my own attempt to change the law, it appears that there’s been a breakthrough. The British public deserve the truth about migrant crime and the costs of low-skilled immigration,” he said.
The move mirrors an approach by some US states and Denmark, where crime rates for migrants are published. In Denmark, in many instances, the rates are higher than for Danish nationals.
Ministers believe the data could provide ammunition in diplomatic negotiations to help secure deportation deals similar to the agreements with Albania for fast-track removals and prisoner transfers.
Sources said it could also help law enforcement agencies target foreign offenders, as has been seen with police operations against organised foreign crime gangs running illegal cannabis farms.
Worth reading in full.
In the Spectator, James Heale says the data “will lead to the kind of difficult conversations which many Government MPs have deliberately sought to avoid”:
Ministry of Justice data suggest that Afghans and Eritreans were more than 20 times more likely to account for sexual offence convictions than British citizens. Such statistics prompt a conundrum for pro-migration Labour MPs, concerned about women’s safety. Cooper’s league table is designed to nullify attacks by Reform and the Tories. But will her Government have the courage to provide answers to the thorny questions which it provokes?

I smell a rat.
Neither the establishment and much less labour have suddenly become anti-immigration.
If they’re going to publish these stats it’s because it’s somehow going to serve their agenda.
I wonder how this will all swing around to help them.
Same feeling here, their going to smudge ,fudge, manipulate and massage the figures until they don’t look at all out of place with the general population
Yes, and see how they are already deflecting attention away from PAKISTANI MUSLIM GANG RAPISTS and DRUG DEALERS to “Afghans”, “Eritreans” & “Poles”.
O/t but not completely, seen at splendid isolation blog:
“Islam’s modus operandi is as follows: when Muslims are in a minority in countries to which they have migrated they claim Islam is a religion of peace. Once their numbers increase they start to agitate for considerations unavailable to non-Muslims in those countries under the guise of obtaining civil liberties. When they gain power it’s, ‘Do as we say or we will kill you.’ That is how a country loses its culture, its values and its traditions.”
that’s it in a nutshell, very neatly put.
The first cover up will be to exclude all those immigrant criminals who have been granted British citizenship. The second cover up will be to exclude all those immigrant criminals who have citizenship applications awaiting approval. I would not discount the French Calais Club visitors to be deemed either French or EU citizens. Some enormous deductions for deportations and possibly even disregards for those coming from Commonwealth countries.
What is 100% guaranteed is how wonderfully peaceful these invaders are.
Excellent points.
I’m sure you’re right.
for damn’ sure we can’t trust them to produce an honest and truthful accounting.
The figures should include Irish travellers.
The figures should be by race/ethnic/language group and include all crimes committed by everyone, including UK citizens. That way it covers migrant groups from previous migration waves.
And their prevalence in rural crime.
My problem is the civil service are so obviously biased and since the GE, we have seen no end of statistics reported that make the Government look good. Migrants deported, NHS appointments achieved, inflation down compared to expectations, GDP better than expected. I just don’t believe any of them and have evidence of the appointments being fiddled, so no doubt this data will be the same. Lies, damned lies and statistics.
Not just the Civil Service. The WHOLE public sector. NHS has openly stated they will ignore the Supreme Court.
Lawyers will be planning their Maldives holidays as a result. And us taxpayers will pay the fines and damages, not those who broke the law
Absolutely they’ve got form in this respect and they’re certainly not cleaning up their game.
Of course the Civil Service no longer consists of normal British, white, Christians.
Good point;
”I agree – the Government should publish migrant contribution league tables.
Let’s look at the tax contributions, public sector costs, and employment rate of different migrant rates. We can shape our immigration policy accordingly.” Sam Bidwell
Huge disparity here;
”Every non-White British ethnic group receives more in working tax credits than the native population
Muslim populations receive 5-6 times more than the White British population in working tax credits and take over 3 times more in Child Tax Credits.”

Check out this very long list of names and click on the picture. It’s basically a case of ‘spot the white person’. Handy if there’s a disproportionate number of migrants ( and descendants ) convicted of crimes;
”90% plus of Lincoln’s Inn 2024 Bar Ceremony (Barrister) intake appears to be Islamic. This is highly unusual, obviously….. but it makes perfect sense. Control of the judiciary is essential for any organisation seeking to take control of a country.” Paul Weston

Key point – should include descendants But they won’t.
Wow! That is truly shocking. Well done to Patriot Paul Weston for carrying on the good fight, and thanks to you for keeping us posted about him and others, especially those of us not on social media.
Best treat with due scepticism any migrant crime stats disclosed by the Home Office that differ substantially from data already released in response to FOI requests…

“…We’re utterly sick of politicians, civil servants and the supposedly ‘expert class’ accusing people of ‘misinformation’ while deliberately hiding information from them.”
Funny how PAKISTANIS are not listed at all in those statistics.
Maybe because most are dual nationals, so left out of the statistics as “British”.
This is just a bit of window dressing as it is only those ‘waiting to be deported’.
I’m inclined to say “what’s the point?”.
If the figures show that migrants commit more crimes than British born people the question becomes “what is the government going to do about it?”. Probable answer FA.
Starmer is promising this to try to avoid total wipeout in the upcoming elections.
It is of course a lie like everything else that comes out of his mouth and he will renege the minute the elections are over.
