VICTIMS CALL FOR PHILLIPS TO STEP DOWN – Grooming gang inquiry chaos sparks demands for Labour MP resignation.
Victims of grooming gangs have urged Labour MP Jess Phillips to resign amid chaos surrounding the ongoing inquiry. They criticised delays and alleged mismanagement by the review team, which has seen two senior advisers step down this week.
Campaigners said the inquiry’s slow pace undermines public confidence in justice for victims. Phillips defended the process, insisting the review remains a priority despite staffing issues.
Opposition parties have also raised concerns over transparency and accountability.
Advocates continue to press for faster action and more robust oversight. The controversy has intensified media scrutiny of Labour’s handling of sensitive cases.
