The truth about the grooming gangs scandal – and Sadiq Khan’s refusal to admit it’s happening in London – as laid out by Rakib Ehsan at Spiked: The sorry truth is that Labour has neither the motivation nor the will to investigate grooming-gang activity and associated institutional failures – and that goes for the Labour…
