This is deeply troubling. Many will now suspect Labour is sabotaging the Grooming Gangs inquiry and deliberately dragging it out beyond the next election. Fiona is a courageous survivor and relentless campaigner, who has done more than most to expose the grooming gang scandal. It has now been over 4 months since Keir Starmer was dragged into launching a national inquiry, yet nothing has happened. We need a judge-led inquiry with full statutory powers. Time for the PM to grow a backbone and do everything possible to ensure criminal investigations run in parallel NOW, across the entire system: Whitehall, the CPS, the police, and local authorities. Survivors and victims need real justice for these horrific crimes.

As of today I am openly resigning from the grooming gang inquiry survivor panel because of serious concerns about their ability to get to the truth, and treatment of survivors

Rachel Reeves promises £6bn of “red-tape cuts” by 2030 for big business, yet her Employment Rights Bill slaps on £5bn EVERY YEAR in new burdens, mostly hitting SMEs. Net effect: more cost, fewer jobs. Stop the spin; back small business.

On this day 40 years ago, 56 Bradford City and Lincoln City supporters went to a football match and never came home. We will never forget those who lost their lives in the Valley Parade Fire Disaster, and we stand with everyone who continues to be affected to this day. Forever remembered and forever in our hearts. 🎗️ #BCAFC

This is one of the reasons why @RishiSunak is the right choice to be PM. This photo taken at the @LGANews conference in Harrogate this year. We were walking around the stands on the way to @LGACons meeting, look how happy he was, he didn’t have to be there, he wanted to be there

You may have seen @CCWVoice launched its #WalkingWithWater initiative this week. Just in time for half term💚💙 Why not check out some lovely walks at our reservoir sites. There are lovely walks at Abberton & Hanningfield, plus somewhere to pop in, warm up & grab a bite to eat.

Less splash could mean more cash in your pocket. A person could save £175 a year across energy and water bills just by halving their daily showertime. For more advice on reducing your bills this autumn visit orlo.uk/gk7a1 #costofliving #waterbills
