'Absolutely astonishing' cost of shock the nation warns Lee Anderson.

Lee Anderson has accused officials of purposely withholding financial data related to the cost of mass immigration due to its potential to incite a public backlash.
According to the Reform UK MP for Ashfield, the government's reluctance to release specific figures on the cost of migration suggests they are “afraid” of the backlash such data might provoke.
Speaking last night, he told GB News' Martin Daubney: "I think what they're afraid of is what the data will actually say.”
Revelations would likely prove “quite embarrassing, not just for this government, but for the previous government as well”, Mr Anderson claimed.
He further argued that a lack of transparency shielded those in power from accountability regarding a system that, he claims, burdens UK taxpayers significantly
