Yvette Cooper says the findings from Baroness Casey’s audit are “damning.”

“At its heart she identifies a deep-rooted failure to treat children as children. A continued failure to protect children and teenage girls from rape, from exploitation, and serious violence.“ She slams authorities for “too little sharing of information, too much reliance on flawed data, too much denial, too little justice and too many criminals getting off, too many victims being let down.”

Seven men have been found guilty of grooming abuse offences against two teenage girls in Rochdale between 2001 and 2006.

Mohammed Zahid, 64, Naheem Akram, 48, Mohammed Shahzad, 44, Nisar Hussain, 41, Roheez Khan, 39, Mushtaq Ahmed, 67, Kasir Bashir, 50 were tried in Manchester. These men put the brave girls through a horrifying period of abuse. The evidence in court was some of the worst I've ever heard.

Seven men have been found guilty, but one of the victims said she could have named hundreds of perpetrators.

This is the story of why Zayan, a British toddler, lives in Egypt, separated from his mum.

It's a story about state failure and why his mum, who was groomed and abused by gangs as a child, is continuing to suffer into adulthood. Correne, a grooming gang victim, desperately wants her son back.

She told me she was abused by over 100 men in Telford.

They made her pregnant with her first child at 13 in the 1990s. Six men could be the father.

BREAK @GBNEWS: Keighley MP Robbie Moore and solicitor David Greenwood today presented evidence to the Home Office that 72,000 children may have been at risk of grooming gangs across Bradford from 1996 to today. Greenwood and survivors have previously told GB News that the scale of the scandal in Bradford would ‘dwarf’ Rotherham, the town most notoriously associated with CSE.

This new dossier of evidence was handed to Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips in a meeting today.

EXCL @GBNEWS: The teenage Labour councillor who quit the party this week has given her first interview, sharing how she faced anti-semitic abuse from a convicted vote rigger gbnews.com/news/teenage-c… @GBNEWS Daisy Blakemore-Creedon, who is one of the country's youngest politicians, resigned from Labour this week saying she was slandered as a racist for calling for CCTV to be installed in minicabs.

She is speaking out for the first time as GB News shares the inside story of the row.

In January, the government asked Louise Casey to conduct a 'rapid audit' of grooming gangs.

GB News then teamed up with some grassroots researchers to conduct our own review.

The government was meant to publish in 3 months. They're late. But our national review is out today. We've found over 50 different towns and cities affected by this scandal with over 500 convictions since 2007.

Records of the abuse stretches back 5 decades.

The abuse networks have operated from Plymouth up to Carlisle, with thousands of victims harmed.

On BBC Any Questions Reform’s @montie raises coverage of abuse gangs and Labour’s Lucy Powell - leader of the House of Commons - accuses him of blowing “a little trumpet”.

She adds: “Let’s get that dog whistle out shall we yeah?” I’ve heard some horrified and shocked reactions from victims hearing this clip.

And a Reform spokesman has said her comments “are nothing short of abhorrent.”

“Keir Starmer should now be considering her position in Government, is she really fit to serve with these comments?”

NEW @GBNEWS: Independent MP brands grooming gangs outrage 'false right-wing narrative' in 'malicious' tirade at Mirpur Airport campaign event - as Labour MP watches on

gbnews.com/politics/groom… @GBNEWS Ex-Labour MP Khalid Mahmood, who lost his seat to Ayoub Khan last summer, told GB News that Mr Khan and the British Pakistani community needed to "face up to the reality" of the abuse gangs scandal.

He said Khan's speech was "very naive at best and malicious at worst."

EXCL: a retired policeman has told @GBNEWS that he was threatened with arrested by senior Bradford officials after conducting a three-month investigation that exposed child grooming and trafficking gbnews.com/news/grooming-… Former DCI John Piekos said he spent 3 months tracking CSE around a children’s home in Bradford.

Speaking for the first time, he said he was called a ‘threat’ to the children and faced arrest.

He was told that he risked a ‘massive right-wing backlash’ and told to drop his work.

The number of people jailed for rioting at a Rotherham asylum seeker hotel has now overtaken those locked up for grooming gang abuse in the town, @GBNEWS can reveal @GBNEWS Since the riot at the Holiday Inn Express last August, there have been over 100 arrests in connection with the disorder and 93 convictions.

88 have been sentenced, of which 77 have been jailed or detained in an Young Offenders’ Institute.

Tom Crowther KC, who is set to chair the Oldham CSE inquiry, has told the Home Affairs committee that statutory powers to compel witnesses would not have made a difference for the Telford inquiry.

He said that a witness if summoned could simply say that they "don’t remember". Mr Crowther said he saw the role of chairing the Telford inquiry via "an advert in Guardian Jobs."

He added that the Telford inquiry was designed to not look like a court, with people being invited to give evidence "over tea and biscuits" and that "nobody was cross-examined."

Jade, not her real name, has spoken to @GBNEWS about her grooming abuse gangs ordeal for the first time.

At least 85 men exploited her over 3 years.

She remembers all their names and faces. But that's easy, because she still sees many of them in the street 20 years later. She spoke to me after the surge in coverage of Britain's abuse gangs scandal in January.

Her father also came forward to describe how he spent countless nights desperately searching for her in Oldham, hunting for the gangs that ruthlessly passed her around.

BREAKING @GBNEWS: Up to 15 people have been injured after reports of a car being driven into pedestrians in Munich.

https://twitter.com/SDemmelhuber/status/1889975253180493842

@GBNEWS Police have confirmed that the man detained after this car-ramming incident is a 26-year-old Afghan.

Up to 20 people have been injured, two of them critically. A child's life is in danger.

The exploits of the forces who fought under T.E. Lawrence in the Great Arab Revolt are the stuff of military legend.

But no one has recreated the 700-mile camelback trek his army took to Aqaba… until now. Five veterans from the Special Forces Club have been riding the treacherous route for the past 25 days, enduring baking hot heat in the day and freezing temperatures at night.

An IOPC whistleblower has told @thetimes that the investigation into Rotherham abuse gang failures “barely scratched the surface” and deliberately avoided senior police officers.

The probe examined 47 officers. None lost their jobs. The most severe sanction? A written warning. @thetimes Op Linden received a lot of criticism when published in 2022. Survivors have told me it's not worth the paper it's printed on.

But now a whistleblower claims its standards were poor and there was “no desire” to uncover the reasons behind the failings.

BREAKING @GBNEWS: 364 MPs vote against an independent national inquiry into the grooming gangs scandal across Britain @GBNEWS From @MaggieOliverUK: "I expected it Charlie. You know my thoughts."

An abuse gang whistleblower said: "I'm fuming."

Jess Phillips has expressed anger tonight at the slow response to child abuse inquiries.

Oldham Council wrote to her in July asking for a government inquiry. GB News revealed that she wrote back — saying no — almost four months later.

Will she apologise to Oldham survivors? In her interview with @AnushkaAsthana, Jess Phillips confirms she has yet to speak to any Oldham survivors.

Yet she still was confident enough to deny their request for a government-led inquiry.

How can you make that decision without speaking to the victims?

EXCLUSIVE: A victim of abuse gangs in Oldham was forced to take emergency contraception by a male police officer after she reported her abuse, @GBNEWS can reveal. In a police complaint seen exclusively by GB News, it is said that the officer “had the pill in his hand and told her she had to take it.”

Sam, who was 12-years-old when she was gang raped, has shared her horrifying story with us.

EXCLUSIVE: Civil servants delayed compensation plans for grooming gang victims.

Several government sources told @GBNEWS that attempts to raise the issue were “pushed into the long grass” by senior officials Kemi Badenoch told me that payment is ‘the least victims are entitled to’ after delays were exposed.

The govt has been contacted for comment.

This conversation sparked by the abuse gangs scandal is spiralling into political gossip.

Let's bring it back to what matters: the survivors and getting the action they need.

So far, the government’s response to the demand for a national public inquiry has been to point to the IICSA report.

Bashing Elon Musk's amplification of calls for a public inquiry, Wes Streeting said that we’ve already had a report into grooming gangs so we don’t need another.

But what did the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse actually find out about grooming gangs?

In this thread I'll go through why many victims and campaigners think the report didn't do enough on the gangs. Published in 2022 after seven years, IICSA had a broad brief, which included all forms of exploitation.

Grooming gangs were lumped in with other abuse networks, while other subjects like online abuse, the Catholic Church, and care homes got their own investigation.

REVEALED @GBNEWS: Keir Starmer ignored a Rotherham whistleblower's bullying complaint after she exposed child abuse and Labour corruption @GBNEWS GB News has seen correspondence between a whistleblower and Sir Keir's office in 2020, when he was the leader of the opposition.

He was told about Jayne Senior being bullied and facing a witch hunt after she helped to expose the Rotherham atrocity.
