"My understanding is they didn't put anything in place [to change things], they just moved officers around. There's more confusion than ever before and children are still not being safeguarded.” Murray claimed her experiences showed the force couldn't be trusted on important topics like grooming gangs because they were constantly misrepresenting the facts. “I know that the Metropol tan Police lie to Mr Khan, that's what they do,” she added. “They don't even know what grooming gangs they've got.

Liam Hoare u @lahoare.bsky.social - 8h FS I truly believe Kemi Badenoch is presiding over the twilight of the Conservative Party. “= Peter Walker @peterwalker99.bsky.social - 9h I'm in Manchester for the Conservative conference, where some of the views on show are likely to be fairly extreme. As one example, these quotes from a Kemi Badenoch interview in the Telegraph are the sorts of things which not very long ago would have only *ever* been said by the racist far right. Inan interview with The Telegraph, Mrs Badenoch pledged to stop “silly arguments” about human rights from preventing the government from doing the “right thing”. She said she was “ashamed” Britain's immigration system had allowed the emergence of grooming gangs, with “foreigners raping our little girls”

Irrespective of ethnicity, a lot of perpetrators were British nationals. Badenoch appears to argue that if you are a UK national of, say, Pakistani heritage, you are a foreigner. 5 October 2025 at 09:47 12reposts 4 quotes 43 likes
