So pleased to see an incredible full-length review for Anywhere But Here by Nicola Kelly (published by Elliott & Thompson) in none other than the Financial Times! 📚 “An unflinching account of migrant journeys to Britain”. ft.com/content/884f98…

It’s harrowing, chastening, and often 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 stuff. Painfully “up close and personal”, and brought vividly to life throughout by the experiences and recollections of people directly involved at every step of the process. 2/5

The grim, horrific apparatus of the system is laid bare. It’s all here: the sniffer dogs and drones, the hopelessly overworked, undertrained and underfunded services, the incompetent political direction… 3/5

…the dilapidated detention centres lacking the most basic facilities, those legendary “luxury” hotels (spoiler alert: they SO aren’t!), the grasping, grifting private contractors, the mismanagement, the surveillance state, the squalor, the inhumanity. 4/5

If like me, you have occasionally harboured a hope that the UK handles asylum seekers better than the horror stories we’ve read about asylum systems in other countries, 𝑨𝒏𝒚𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝑩𝒖𝒕 𝑯𝒆𝒓𝒆 will quickly strip you of that illusion. 5/5

Still a few tickets left for my event at Toppings in Bath tomorrow. Come and say hi! toppingbooks.co.uk/events/bath/ni…

Wrote about why Labour's dual approach of enforcement and externalisation won't work and will only lead to more crossings and more deaths in the Channel. LBC LBC News lbc.co.uk/opinion/views/…

“I lost absolutely everything. Nine grandchildren were born while I was away. I missed my children’s 16th, 18th and 21st birthdays, all the important milestones. My children suffered a lot too.” By amelia gentleman theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/a…

Investigative journalist and former Home Office insider Nicola Kelly writes for British GLAMOUR: "I interviewed desperate mothers seeking asylum in the UK. Their stories drastically changed my view of the ‘migrant crisis’" glamourmagazine.co.uk/article/nicola…

We had a brilliant evening last night as Nicola Kelly joined WaterstonesVictoria to discuss her new book, #AnywhereButHere, a powerful exposé of Britain’s broken asylum system and how it fails us. Signed copies of Anywhere But Here available in store now!

Hugely grateful to everyone who came to hear me talk about 'Anywhere But Here' last night, and to the lovely booksellers WaterstonesVictoria. Thank you for all the support - I really appreciate it and hope that you get something out of reading the book.

Excl: The UNHCR has endorsed Labour’s plan to deport failed asylum seekers to 'return hubs' in third countries. This is a significant development because it was the UNHCR which ultimately collapsed the Rwanda scheme: thetimes.com/article/ae4c78…
