Mims Davies MP speaks on Grooming Gangs in the Chamber
Mims was horrified to hear the Prime Minister call speaking out for rape victims as jumping on a far-right bandwagon.
Following this, Mims stood in the speaker on this very issue of grooming gangs and the Prime Minister's comments.
Mims Davies MP said:
Despite what the Prime Minister said, speaking out for rape victims is not jumping on a far-right bandwagon.
Yesterday, it was reported that No. 10’s interim spokesperson said it was “obviously disappointing” to see people “weaponising” rape gangs for “political point scoring”.
How does that square with the harrowing personal testimony from Jade, Chantelle, Scarlett, Erin and Steph in Anna Hall’s Channel 4 documentary aired last week, where concerning questions continued to arise about councils, police, schools, social workers and children’s homes?
It was reported that in up to 50 communities, vulnerable girls who were under age—exploited children—were unbelievably labelled as promiscuous or child prostitutes.
