"The reaction to the appointment process has been defined more by the vested interests of some, as well as political opportunism and point-scoring, rather than by the cross-party consensus required to address such a serious national issue. Victims and survivors, who have been let down so often in the past, deserve better than to be used as leverage for short-term gain by anyone. Moving forward. I hope they remain at the absolute centre of this"
The Independent covers US issues and funds reporting through reader donations while keeping journalism freely accessible. Jim Gamble, a former police officer, withdrew from contention to chair the grooming gang inquiry, plunging the probe into fresh chaos. A Home Office spokesperson expressed disappointment at the withdrawals. In a letter to the home secretary, Gamble cited a highly charged, toxic environment around the appointment and said some victims and survivors lack confidence because of his past occupation. He condemned vested interests, political opportunism and point-scoring that undermine cross-party consensus, and urged that victims and survivors not be used as leverage and remain central.
