Bradley has slammed the Government for blocking a national inquiry into grooming and rape gangs.
In a vote in Parliament last night (January 8th), Bradley voted for the amendment which called for a national inquiry. He was one of the signatories to the amendment to make this vote possible.
However, the Government used its majority to block an inquiry, putting Party before the victims of these abhorrent gangs.
Following the vote, Bradley said:
“We need a clear and focused national public inquiry into the grooming and rape gangs to get to the truth about the extent of the abuse and any cover-up, and it must go further than previous inquiries.
“I voted for a national inquiry because we need to examine the failings among police, prosecutors, charities, academics, local and national government, consider the racial and cultural backgrounds of the perpetrators and how that contributed to these crimes, identify those public servants who facilitated or ignored this abuse so they can be removed from their roles and any foreign nationals involved in the abuse must also be deported.
“Shamefully Keir Starmer used his majority to block Conservative calls for a national inquiry, choosing to ignore victims and justice. What’s just as shameful is Liberal Democrat MPs couldn’t even be bothered to vote.
“I will continue to support calls for a national inquiry to get to the truth about the extent of the abuse and the cover up.”
