The article discusses the political ramifications of grooming gang horrors, criticizing the Tories for their past negligence and opportunistic exploitation of vulnerable victims for political gain. It highlights Labour's Kevin Starmer's push for actionable reforms, including an audit by Louise Casey, which advocates for a national framework with statutory authority to oversee local inquiries. The findings reveal systemic failures by authorities reluctant to act due to fears of being labeled racist, as demonstrated by a recent trial involving men of Pakistani origin perpetrating heinous acts against young girls.
The Tories' sudden intervention in grooming gang cases seems disingenuous, given their history of ignoring warnings and failing to act during their time in power.
Louise Casey's audit aims to establish a national body to oversee local inquiries into child sexual exploitation, highlighting a need for coordinated action.
