“This Is A Cover-Up” | Grooming Gangs Inquiry To Be Delayed For Months By Labour Government

Several survivors of the grooming gangs inquiry have clashed over the role of Jess Phillips as safeguarding minister. Four initially quit the victims’ liaison panel, demanding her resignation, while five others sent a letter backing her, saying they would only continue working with the inquiry if she remained in post. Sir Keir Starmer personally reassured survivors of his commitment to the inquiry as the political storm surrounding Ms Phillips intensified, following the resignation of a fifth panel member, Gaia Cooper, who criticised the use of the inquiry as a “political battering ram.” Cooper and others have called for a judge-led inquiry, suggesting figures such as Wendy Joseph or Dame Carol Black, arguing that the process should be independent and sensitive to victims. Sir Keir Starmer defended the decision not to appoint a judge, citing the need for speed to allow ongoing criminal investigations to continue without delay, while no candidates have been formally ruled out. Meanwhile, the Home Office has been criticised by police inspectors for failing to adopt a formal definition of grooming gangs, delaying the collection of reliable national data on child sexual exploitation.
