Not mentioned once around the cabinet table under the Tories. #GroomingGangs #UK #Starmer #PMQs
"I can assure you that the entire time that I was in Cabinet, this was never discussed"

Speaking to @vicderbyshire.bsky.social, Ex-Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries discusses the Tory Party never launching a national inquiry into child grooming gangs during their time in government

Take back control. We don't want to be ruled by foreign, unelected, beauracrats.

Keep Elon Musk out of British politics.

Imagine my shock. Was he on a flight to Florida? Or holding surgeries in Clacton (joking, of course)?
In other news, Nigel Farage didn't bother to turn up to the debate on grooming gangs in the House of Commons just now

Badenoch skewered by Starmer on her silence about child protection/grooming when her party was in government.

And for the 8 years she's personally been an MP.

Starmer was on fire today, but I have to admit this was brilliant from Davey #PMQs
“Will the Prime Minister work with us to bring in long overdue reforms of party funding so that power in this country lies with the voters & not wealthy overseas oligarch’s?” - Ed Davey

“Of course we are looking at the question of funding more generally” - Keir Starmer

one of the most thorough skewerings I’ve ever seen during PMQs
Keir Starmer says Kemi Badenoch in eight years as an MP never mentioned grooming gangs in the House of Commons - not once - even when she was children’s minister

Badenoch insists she has raised the issue “in speeches” but is unable to deny the charge #pmqs

8 years in parliament and didn't do a single thing. Can Badenoch get any more pathetic?

"For all the easy, cheap nonsense being peddled - changes 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 made."

Andrew Norfolk confirms Keir Starmer "completely changed the rules" as DPP to help prosecute grooming gangs - directly countering Musk's claim of a coverup.

Badenoch and Jenerick are absolutely shameless. She claimed multiple times at PMQs that she is raising these issues 'for the victims'. She isn't. She's jumping on a political bandwagon for her own gain.
Why didn't the Tories hold another national inquiry back in 2022 or 2023?

'Why is your party not condemning this vicious, dishonest attack upon a woman held up by victims as the politician who has helped them more than any other?'

@mrjamesob.bsky.social sends a message to Tory members after Elon Musk called Jess Phillips 'a rape genocide apologist'.

"Jess Phillips has done a thousand times more than they've even dreamt about when it comes to protecting victims of sexual abuse."

Keir Starmer hits out at Elon Musk and the far-right for "spreading misinformation" on grooming gangs.

Throwback to when Boris Johnson said money was being "spaffed up the wall" in investigating historic child abuse.

Make no mistake. Every politician, pundit & online grifter amplifying Musk's dangerous lies will be aware of this intervention by now. Make no mistake, they are choosing to mislead the public & politicise the suffering of victims in the shameful pursuit of political advantage, attention & clicks.

The legacy mainstream Conservative Party was dissolved by Johnson in 2019 and only the right wing Brexit loonies remain.

A victory for Democracy in Romania.

The Constitutional Court of Romania has annulled the results of the first round of the presidential elections due to Russian foreign manipulation that favoured the pro-Russian fascist Călin Georgescu.
