Labour claimed I was “playing politics” when I fought to stop rapists being put in women's prisons. It’s exactly this sort of language that protected the rape gangs in the first place. I learned as I legislated to overturn postmasters convictions, too many people think challenging a failing system is "playing politics". It’s not. It's called "Doing The Right Thing". The Conservative govt set up the first ever Grooming Gangs Taskforce, which led to over 550 arrests. This was the right thing to do. Of course, there is still MUCH more to do for the victims. But instead of wasting time attacking me, Labour ministers should get on and launch an inquiry.
