His report was titled "The 'Life in the United Kingdom test': Is It Unfit for Purpose?". He was highly critical of the test, concluding that it was "unfit for purpose". He criticised the test's focus on "British culture and history at the expense of practical knowledge".[8] Brooks's report has been cited several times in the UK's Parliament.[9] Brooks publishes widely on criminal justice and sentencing.

Santiago (Santiago II), 318 Conn. 1, 105 (2015) abolishing capital punishment in Connecticut.[11] In 2015, the Electoral Commission quotes Brooks in support of its proposed changes to the EU Referendum. They proposed changing the ballot choices to "Remain" and "Leave" and this was later accepted by the UK Government.[12] Brooks appears frequently on media, including television, radio and newspapers often discussing migration policy and law described as one of the UK's "leading academics".

Winning back 10 Downing Street is an enormous challenge no matter who is Leader of the Opposition, widely recognised as the most difficult job in politics.

We can each play our part in making the most of the positive energy and clear mandate he has to lead the Labour Party. The leadership campaign was just a warm up act for the real fight ahead.
