🚨BOMBSHELL EXPOSÉ: TREVOR PHILLIPS RIPS LID OFF LABOUR'S GROOMING GANGS COVER-UP 💣

Keir Starmer and the Labour Party Sabotaging National Inquiry to Hide Racial Targeting of White Girls and Decades of Failure in Their Own Councils

In a devastating intervention, Sir Trevor Phillips has blown the whistle on what he calls a deliberate political cover-up at the heart of Britain's grooming gangs scandal.

The former Equality and Human Rights Commission chair accuses Labour of sabotaging the national inquiry because of its explosive racial implications — and because so much of the abuse took place under Labour-controlled councils that did nothing to stop it.

“The government clearly never wanted these two things to be put together,” Phillips declared. He points to Labour's efforts to downplay “the intersection of race and sexual predation,” insisting the perpetrators deliberately targeted victims because they were white and outside the groomers' community.

“These children are chosen because of their race. They are chosen because they are white and because they’re outside the community of the groomers.”

Phillips highlights the chilling uniqueness of these crimes: unlike typical child abuse kept hidden, grooming gangs operate in plain sight — with perpetrators knowing they are shielded.

“The other thing is these people know that they are protected. They’re protected politically, they’re protected by social workers, they’re protected by local police. That is the scandal here.”

He pulls no punches on why a full reckoning has been avoided: “Much of this took place in local Labour councils and the authorities who were supposed to be watching over this, stopping it, monitoring it and all the rest of it were controlled by those councils and they did nothing.”

This is not just institutional failure — it's a politically motivated shield thrown over horrific, racially aggravated sexual exploitation that went on for years under Labour's watch.

Right now, they deserve justice — and Britain deserves the full, fearless national inquiry that has been denied for far too long.

This is utterly DAMNING for David Lammy.

"We are not looking to convict people as quickly as possible, we are looking for justice."

A Barrister clinically dismantles David Lammy's disgraceful decision to scrap jury trials.

Watch until the end.
It wont even fix the backlog.

@DPJHodges @DPJHodges a bit of Thatcher wit and honour as well.

Political and economic insanity

[Alan Bailey @alanbailey23]

@leeharris @leeharris Yes! I’ve just won Breakfast Clubs Bingo! 🤣🤣🤣

[(((Dan Hodges))) @DPJHodges]

So just to chart the Government's economic messaging. They claimed to have uncovered a hidden £20 billion fiscal black hole. They then claimed to have filled in that £20 billion black hole, and "fixed the foundations". Thus allowing for U-Turns on Welfare and Winter Fuel. But they've now discovered a new £20 billion black hole. Which is actually a £35 billion black hole, because Reeves has decided she needs fiscal headroom.
