40:02Now PlayingAfter Yvette Cooper's statement in the Commons yesterday responding to the findings of the Casey report, Seán, Oli, and Laura delve into what's really going on with grooming gangs.
The team unpack the reactions to Labour’s freshly launched national inquiry, an inquiry Prime Minister Keir Starmer initially denied was necessary, into child sexual exploitation following high-profile incidents like in Rochdale. They also discuss Home Secretary Yvette Cooper's address to the House of Commons yesterday following the review, breaking down its content and implications.
Why is the conversation around grooming gangs so often racialised? How have councils, a lack of data, and bad faith actors affected the media narrative? And what does the evidence actually show about the perpetrators and victims of these horrific crimes?
Is Labour’s inquiry is a meaningful step forward for victims, or just another political football for rivals, like the Conservatives' Kemi Badenoch or Reform's Nigel Farage, to take advantage of?
