The defections are starting to mount in UK’s Labour Party, as leading members start to realize that denying a National Inquiry on the nefarious Islamic Grooming Gangs is not only morally wrong but also political suicide.
After Manchester mayor Andy Burnham and Labour peer Baroness Harriet Harman backed calls for a new probe, the first sitting Government MP has broken ranks and called for an investigation into the horrific scandal.
Liverpool Walton MP Dan Carden has been unequivocal in his backing of the probe, leading to the crusader for the Inquiry, Elon Musk, publicly thanking and praising him.
Pressure is mounting on failing Prime Minister Keir Starmer to reverse his unacceptable position.
Daily Mail reported:
“Amid the social media assault on Sir Keir by Mr Musk, the billionaire owner of X and a close ally of Donald Trump, both the Tories and Reform UK have demanded a new national inquiry.”
But PM Starmer argues that a further investigation could delay action on tackling child sexual abuse.
“Speaking to The Liverpool Echo this weekend, Mr. Carden urged Sir Keir to ‘use the full power of the state to deliver justice’ for victims. He said: ‘The public compassion for the victims, thousands of young British working-class girls and children is real. The public call for justice must be heeded.
‘It is shocking that people in positions of power could have covered up and refused to act to avoid confronting racial or cultural issues or because victims were poor and working class. We must question and challenge the orthodoxy of progressive liberal multiculturalism that led to authorities failing to act. We need a new doctrine to take our multi-ethnic society into the future’.”
MP Carden made the very sane statement that the Grooming Gangs issue was ‘not an obsession of the far-right.’
He decried the fact that far too few Labour voices expressed clear disgust and outrage at these heinous crimes.
“He added: ‘Both Keir Starmer and (safeguarding minister) Jess Phillips have strong records in this area and yet the Government has failed to take the high ground. [The Government] must communicate a clear message about whose side it is on and now direct the state to implement the rule of law without fear (or) favor and deliver justice’.
‘The Prime Minister must use the full power of the state to deliver justice. It must continue to unflinchingly pursue the perpetrators and bring to account those in positions of authority who turned a blind eye, failed to act, or gave political cover to the gangs’.”
In response to Carden’s intervention, Mr Musk posted on X: ‘Thank you, @DanCardenMP! Integrity.’
Thank you, @DanCardenMP!
Integrity. https://t.co/ACflU8AICB
