By me: Grooming gangs thrived in Britain because the abused girls were the wrong kind of victims and their Pakistani-heritage rapists were the wrong kind of perpetrators. Now, as adults, these women continue to be the wrong kind of victims, wanting to lift the lid on the wrong

Just like survivors of other examples of state inflicted/ tolerated violence, these women are refusing to play ball. They won’t submit to non disclosures, will make correspondence public, won’t sit through endless PowerPoints on “path to remediation” and I am so here for it!

Keir Starmer currently being shamed over his handling of the rape gangs. Rightly. It is utterly incomprehensible how he has so manifestly failed to grip this issue. It's been 16 months.

Just so everyone is clear what happened here; Waitrose, a company that makes many millions in profits, was happy to let this young man work in their stores for several years without being paid. The moment that he asks to be paid for his time, they refuse to let him come back.

With respect to Jim Gamble, politicians dancing around the sensitivities of this issue is precisely what led us here. This is a major national issue relating to a major national scandal. Our elected representatives need to keep debating it robustly.

You know what is crazy... how many labour supporters have come trying to accuse me of things and smear me and attack my character. Making up lies. Because I had a photo with Rupert lowe once and spoke one sentence to him in my life. Suddenly now it must mean being paid off..... I

🚨 NEW: The survivors who quit the grooming gangs inquiry say they’ll only return if: 1. Jess Phillips quits as Safeguarding Minister 2. They’re consulted on a judge-led Chair 3. Victims can speak freely 4. The inquiry isn't diluted 5. The victim liaison lead is replaced

Irrespective of asylum status, anyone who sexually assaults three women in the space of a couple of weeks should be sent to jail for a very long time. This is appalling.

Oh my goodness, the dedication that took. 😭

There is no doubt Jess has done some good work for violence against women & girls in the past, but unfortunately she is not right for this role any longer. Her performance in the HoC this week was unprofessional & she made claims that are not true. She just doesn’t understand

🚨ISLE OF WIGHT: Kevin Nixon, 64, who hid a camera in an air freshener to secretly film a woman, has walked free Nixon admitted filming another woman in a ‘private act’ Nixon had 2 prev convictions for 4 offences & walked free in 2017 for stalking & harassment 25 'rehab' days

🚨NEWCASTLE: Serial voyeur, Mark Simpson, 51, who secretly filmed women & girls in MIXED SEX changing rooms over 5 years at a Butlins resort & distributed the girls images online: JAILED for 3 years Married Simpson had also filmed 'adults' using a toilet & downloaded CSA images

Shola has articulated this better than me. I’ve commended Jess for past work but she has failed them here and I’m afraid there is no coming back from this.

Absolute bullshit… they haven’t been captured… just read their letters and hear how they have been let down. These women have been through a lot & are strong, strong enough to stand their ground on an inquiry that was not being managed well at all. They had every right to

The clip that's making everyone laugh! Is HR full of 'midwits'? Is woke eating itself? And why was Keir Starmer's Pride garden party so weird? Enjoy! Link to full episode with Eric Kaufmann at #BattleFest ⬇️

This is really good work and well done Asda Waitrose & Partners responses have been wittering on about being an “inclusive employer” and “we work with various partners and charities” 🙄🙄 they utterly failed to act rapidly on this. This proves everything about the discussions on the

Bloody hell…

Smooth Mr B…

I actually used to like Rory Stewart but what a complete idiot… 🙈🙈 Prince Andrew is a member of the royal family. A family that we have been expected to curtesy and bow down to. A family who are apparently better than the rest of us & who incidentally receive taxpayer money

Given the utter chaos and mess of this inquiry, I would now go as far to say that anyone in any political position, respective of party, needs to stay away from this now…. With Jess staying I’m afraid the survivors will never be satisfied with the outcome. I was deeply
