Two Labour MPs representing areas known for child sexual exploitation, Sarah Champion and Paul Waugh, have reversed their earlier stance and now support a national public inquiry. Their shift comes under mounting pressure on Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who has resisted calls for an inquiry.
Two Labour MPs who represent the child rape grooming gang hotspots of Rochdale and Rotherham have come out in favour of a national public inquiry as pressure continues to mount for Prime Minister Sir Kier Starmer.
Champion, a former Labour frontbencher who was forced out for highlighting the issue of groups of mostly Pakistani men raping and grooming young girls, said per the BBC: “Having worked widely with victims and survivors, and front-line professionals, I have long believed that we need to fully understand the nature of this crime and the failures in the response of public bodies if we are to truly protect children.
However, the Rotherham MP slightly caveated her position from others, advocating that the investigations should be “locally led”, potentially opening the door to local officials continuing to cover up their failures in protecting young white girls from rape gangs, Champion was joined Monday by Rochdale MP Paul Waugh, who, despite also voting down the idea just last week, said that he is “not against” a national inquiry with “some key caveats”.Nevertheless, the addition of MPs from grooming gang hotspots to join the ranks of those calling for an inquiry will put increased pressure on Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
