Every life matters.
One law. One standard. For everyone.
This is about justice, for Henry, for his family and for all our children. They deserve better.
Identity politics divides our country whoever is doing it.
The Conservative Party rejects it.
We believe in universalism and equality under the law. We must not treat people differently on the basis of skin colour. We have to build faith and trust in our institutions.
If there is one thing that should come from Henry’s death, it is that we make things better, so that this does not happen to any of our boys again.
That is what I am committed to.
I do not want his death to be in vain.
Let’s do this for Henry. Let’s get this right.
The Prime Minister in waiting!
If you haven’t noticed, you haven’t been paying attention.
I would rather be part of the real Tories uniting behind @KemiBadenoch vision of renewing the party, than being part of the disgruntled Tories led by @Nigel_Farage.
It’s not a sprint.
@carolka20@KemiBadenoch@Nigel_Farage She is Brilliant. The Best. Such a good orator. Really hope her party gives her all their support I definitely want her for the next prime minister. 100% has my vote. I have full confidence in her.
@steveallenshow Oh how i miss you and your comments. You say what everyone thinks. Need more of your comments l. Its a sin to keep you off the radio. You lightened up so many of our dull and painful lives. You took my pain away with laughter..
@steveallenshow You and Dale were the greatest at your trade. Both of you are one offs. Unique and your personalities never clashed no wonder you were always good friends. I miss you both.
@TweeetsOfDogs What a face! So beautiful & intelligent. Wish he/she was mine. An angel without wings. Mat he/she lives a long long life full of love & happiness.
@KemiBadenoch@Conservatives I lost a best friend at the very beginning of Covid. Nobod knew what was to come. I thank god that Boris & the Conservatives were in charge. Mistakes were made everywhere but I am so grateful to everyone concerned they saved me. I have no immune system and never caught Covid.
@KemiBadenoch@Conservatives In these dangerous times we need proper leadership. The only party we can trust and who has real experience is the Conservative Party. I dread to think what would have happened with Covid if the Labour Party was in at the time. Thank You Kemi. I put my trust in you.
The Prime Minister is taking us for fools. He said today that no one in Number 10 knew.
On the 12 of September, the FRONT PAGE of the Independent clearly states that “MI6 failed to clear” Mandelson. He wants us to believe no one thought to check?
It’s utterly absurd.
Over the past 9 months, I have been investigating how the Home Office has been preparing for the national grooming gangs inquiry - and crucially, whether vital evidence has been properly protected.
What I’ve found is extremely concerning...
In June last year, Baroness Louise Casey recommended a full national inquiry.
Her Audit was clear that in the meantime, police forces, councils and authorities across the country should be required not to destroy any records that could be used as evidence.
But we now know that didn’t happen.
Freedom of Information requests now appear to show the Home Office waited a staggering 212 days - nearly seven months - before formally contacting police forces and other key agencies.
Today, the Home Affairs select Committee has written directly to the Home Secretary warning that this 212 failure means that some records critical to the inquiry “might have been destroyed”.
That is a staggering failure at the heart of government.
I first raised the alarm on this in December, after uncovering that authorities in Bradford had not received any instruction at all from government.
Just two days later, newly appointed Chair of the National Inquiry, Baroness Anne Longfield, wrote to the Government reinforcing exactly the same point.
Yet even after that warning, it still took another 36 days for the Home Office to act and pass the Chair's message on to authorities.
Freedom of information requests show that then-Permanent Secretary Antonio Romeo finally wrote to Home Office-funded Arm’s Length Bodies and Chief Constables across the country on 14 January 2026 - 7 months after the Casey Audit.
The government now has serious and unavoidable questions it must answer.
- Why was there such a delay?
- What kind of records may have been lost?
- What are the legal consequences if records have been lost, but the Home Office failed to act?
Even now, it remains unclear whether local councils across the country were ever formally contacted at all about the protection of records.
Unless the government can provide clear answers to these questions, they risk not only undermining confidence in this process, but failing victims who have already been let down for far too long.
