Keywords:
A copy should be on every desk not just in the Home Office, but throughout government. A brilliant and hugely timely book.' Caroline Lucas, author of Another England













Kellys book, Anywhere But Here, brings such a human and humane perspective to an issue that is politicised and toxic. The Guardian













Longlisted for the 2025 Moore Prize for Human Rights









What is it like to arrive on our shores with nothing and be pushed to the margins of society?



Who stands to gain from an asylum system that is intentionally hostile?













Anywhere But Here is a powerful exposé of Britains broken asylum system and how it fails us all.













Each year tens of thousands of people risk their lives to cross the Channel in small boats hoping to find safety in Britain. Yet the very system designed to protect them has all but collapsed.













With unique and unparalleled access, award-winning journalist and former Home Office insider Nicola Kelly takes us behind the scenes of the small boats crisis for the first time.













We follow the under-resourced coastguard overseeing search and rescue operations in the Channel. The decision-makers hired from McDonalds and Aldi to conduct life and death asylum interviews. The immigration barristers securing last-minute reprieves for deportees who narrowly escaped death. And we step inside the Home Office corridors as ministers and advisors respond to emerging crises and scandals, from Windrush to the Rwanda plan.













At its heart are the stories of war-torn arrivals, lone teenagers and trafficked women attempting to settle in cities, towns and villages across the UK. We travel to meet them, exploring where they have fled from and why, and the response of local communities to their new neighbours.













Situated on the beaches and the ports, in the hotels, the courtrooms and the detention centres where the futures of those affected unfold, this is a searing investigation into one of the most urgent issues and shocking injustices of our time.
