00:00I thought the announcement that was made by Jess Phillips in the House of Commons
00:03right on the eve of recess was one of the most cowardly things I've ever seen.
00:09You know, I called for a national inquiry.
00:11The government tried to head me off at the pass by saying they were going to do five.
00:14They've scrapped those now.
00:16The problem is that any inquiry to work, it has to have statutory powers.
00:21Otherwise you can't get these northern councils, these northern police forces before you and held to account.
00:27I am told there will be a development coming on Monday, led by somebody who played a very prominent role in exposing the grooming gangs.
00:37That will be coming on Monday and I suspect the route we're now going to go down is for a judicial review.
00:43The government has turned its back on the victims.
00:47The government has completely turned its back on the idea of a proper, full, open public inquiry.
00:53And frankly, the government is doing this because it's scared of voters in the inner cities going for the Gaza independence.
01:03It is simply, that's what this is all about.
01:06People at West Streeting would now probably lose their seat if there was a general election.
01:11Jess Phillips, probably the same.
01:13This is the impact of sectarian politics on a British national Labour government.
01:19It is truly cowardly and shameful.
