I'm relieved to see rape gang investigations being held in Oldham, London, Bradford and Keighley.
This is progress, and campaigners deserve huge credit.
Following our inquiry, there are now multiple police investigations underway - we will share more when it is safe to do so. Work on starting our own private prosecutions also continues...
I have made it clear from the beginning that we will do everything in our power to safely cooperate with the authorities where appropriate to ensure that justice is delivered.
Evidently, there is an awfully long way to go. But it does feel like progress is slowly being made...
Survivors, many of whom have been campaigning for years and decades, are among the bravest people I have ever met.
They have made this happen.
A woke-tard landlord physically assaulted me and spat in my face “my wife is Palestinian”.
Darling, you gave my sympathy. But you do need to own your issues.
Tonight I will watch the game with REAL MEN
Our quality of politicians is so low grade
Why is she twerking her head like a petulant teenager?
These are the best of Britain to represent British people?
Seven PMs in ten years. And hundreds of these people are the cavalry.
New SNP MP Lara Bird took the oath of allegiance to King Charles in the House of Commons and appeared to cross her fingers while doing it.
That is not a protest. It is contempt. Contempt for Parliament. Contempt for her office. Contempt for the constitution. This was an anti-British, anti-Unionist stunt from an MP who wants the privileges of Westminster while sneering at the very country that sent her there.
She is entitled to oppose the monarchy. She is entitled to support Scottish independence. But if her first act in Parliament is to treat the oath of office like a childish loophole, the public has every right to ask:
If the oath means nothing, what else is optional ?
Is she crossing her fingers like a sulky teenager?
Just googled this fierce socialist anti-imperialist.
Private school, from a wealthy British military family, and a long line of English colonial academics.
It's all an act. Even the accent.
Wealthy socialist indulging and benefiting from all the things they'd deny working people. Classic.
It really pisses me off to see politicians doing this
What is the point in swearing an oath if you are literally crossing your fingers in defiance of the oath you're taking?
Why do we accept this as if it's fine?
These people aren't protectors of the realm, they're traitors to it
Our constitution demands you serve the sovereign
If you're taking political power in this country purposefully to undermine the sovereign, that's treason
And if we treated these people as such our kingdom would be a lot better for it
A dad who refused to stay silent on grooming gangs when the establishment looked away. That’s the kind of Mayor Greater Manchester needs. Back Marlon West on 30 July. RT if you agree 👇
