Louise Casey criticises Tories for politicising her grooming gangs report – UK politics live | Politics

Kemi Badenoch is not the only party leader being accused of opportunism over grooming gangs. Rupert Lowe, who was elected as a Reform UK MP but who left the party after a bitter row with Nigel Farage, posted this on social media this morning.

I sat next to Farage in the Commons when he stated that Reform would ‘raise the money’ for a rape gang inquiry. I applauded him.

For that, I am sorry. Nothing happened. Nothing was done. Reform did nothing.

It is filthy politics, and I feel deeply ashamed for my role in it.
