So let’s once again remind ourselves of the Prime Minister’s case as to why we don’t need an inquiry into what we used to call grooming gangs. I think now we all call it rape gangs, or, frankly, gang rape-rape gangs.
But his justification appears to be the Jay inquiry.
Sarah Owen is the Labour Member of Parliament, for Luton North, but perhaps more significantly, the chair of the Women and Equalities committee.
Well if you’re so concerned about what’s happening in Germany, and earlier on in that speech, you talked about sexual assault and rape in the Congo.

And I think the accusation of hypocrisy that hangs around much of what has been said by Labour MPs out of the last few days holds very, very strong.

The Jay Report, Prime Minister, was a shotgun. It was talking about abuse of children at all different levels.
What we’re asking for is a rifle shot that focuses on these grooming gangs, and yes, there’s no getting away from it, there is a big emphasis on particularly elements of the Pakistani community within this.
That’s what we want. We don’t want it to take seven years. We want it to be over in a year.
But we want the victims to be able to speak, because they’re the ones that were ignored. They’re the ones that weren’t believed by social services, by the police.
They need a stage on which they can tell us the truth about what happened, and we need to know how widespread this problem was.
