🚨 Labour’s Grooming Gang Inquiry Has Been Deliberately Delayed Until After The Next Election 🚨 I took the time to read through the latest details of this so called national inquiry properly, not headlines, not spin, the actual substance, and here is the reality. On 8 January 2025, the Government rejected calls for a new national grooming gang inquiry, arguing the focus should instead be on implementing previous recommendations. Then on 14 June 2025, Keir Starmer stood there and announced a National Grooming Gang Inquiry. Six months later, on 9 December 2025, Anne Longfield was appointed to lead it. And now, months on from that announcement, this is where we actually are. The Terms of Reference are still not finalised. Still being drafted. Still being negotiated. Anne Longfield herself has admitted the draft is not strong enough and not detailed enough, and she did not even write it. If the person leading the inquiry is telling you it is weak, then it is weak. Even now the wording around one of the most critical issues, ethnicity, race and religion, only says the inquiry “should” look at it. Not will. Not must. That is not a technicality, that is a loophole. It means it can still be watered down. This is being sold as a national inquiry, yet only a single digit number of areas will actually receive full local investigations. The rest of the country, dozens of affected towns and thousands of victims, will be pushed into a general call for evidence. That is not full exposure, that is containment. There is currently no advisory panel in place. The previous one has been disbanded. The legal team is still being hired. This is not a system ready to deliver justice, it is a system still being built behind closed doors. They have also made it clear the Terms of Reference will define what the inquiry does, and only after that will survivors be brought in to shape how it is done. That is completely backwards. Victims should be shaping the scope, not just the process. We are told there will be no no go zones, but there is no explanation of how that is enforced, who decides it, or what happens when it is challenged. Without that, it is just words. And here is the part they do not want you focusing on. The inquiry will start in April 2026, run for three years, and the final report will not be published until after the next General Election. That is not a coincidence. That is a political decision. Labour has structured this so the consequences land after the public have already voted. That is not about justice, that is about control. This inquiry has potential, but right now it is too slow, too limited, too vague, and far too politically convenient to deliver the accountability victims deserve. I am not interested in what they promise. I am interested in what they deliver. Right now, this is not good enough!

Too many are too polite to say this. But mass ritual prayer in public places is an act of domination. The adhan - which declares there is no god but allah and Muhammad is his messenger - is, when called in a public place, a declaration of domination. Perform these rituals in mosques if you wish. But they are not welcome in our public places and shared institutions. And given their explicit repudiation of Christianity they certainly do not belong in our churches and cathedrals. I am not suggesting everybody at Trafalgar Square last night is an Islamist. But the domination of public places is straight from the Islamist playbook. Trafalgar Square belongs to all of us. It is a national memorial to our independence and our salvation. Last night was not like a televised football match or a St Patrick’s Day celebration. It was an act of domination and therefore division. It shouldn’t happen again.

The Government will collect £331bn in income tax this year, and spend £333bn on welfare. In other words, we now spend more on people not working than we raise from those who do. And the cost? Debt per person has risen from £11.5k in 2000 (inflation adjusted) to over £41k today.

😞 Our offer of 30 hours of government-funded childcare is no longer saving families £7,500... ...it's now saving them £8,000! 😃 Labour is delivering for working families and tackling the cost of living.
