## Key points

- The committee has dropped its latest OBE investigation into Charlie Mullins.
- The complaint concerned his call to send Channel migrants “back to the jungle”.
- Mullins says he meant migrant camps in northern France and alleges political victimisation.

## Summary

The Honours Forfeiture Committee has dropped its latest investigation into Charlie Mullins’s OBE after he was reported over a post calling for Channel migrants to be “sent back to the jungle”. Mullins said he was referring to migrant camps in northern France, while the complainant considered the wording racist. The case matters because it is the second time the committee has examined whether his public comments warrant removing the honour.

Mullins’s lawyers sent the committee a 26-page submission setting out the context, and he says the repeated investigations have cost him heavily in legal fees and are politically motivated. He received his OBE in 2015 for services to plumbing. A previous investigation in 2024 considered several posts and remarks, including a comment about London Mayor Sadiq Khan; the committee ultimately took no action after his lawyers’ representations, which included a pledge to undertake diversity training.
