From @ReevesJoanna: We need to neutralise the '14 years' argument conservativehome.com/2025/07…

It’s #ThankATeacherDay, an opportunity to recognise all our teachers do to give children growing up in our country the best start in life. Through our Plan for Change, we’re getting more teachers into our classrooms. Every lesson shapes a life, so go to getintoteaching.education.go….

Teachers across the country change lives every single day. Today, I'm grateful for the teachers who helped me, inspired me and gave me the tools to succeed. With our Plan for Change, we're recruiting more teachers into schools to give all children the best start in life.

In January, Keir Starmer shamefully smeared people like me calling for an inquiry into the rape gang cover-up as ‘far right.’ Now, faced with the vote we scheduled next week in Parliament and an external report, Starmer has finally capitulated. Not because he wants to do the right thing - but because he’s been forced to. Starmer must now apologise for needlessly keeping victims waiting another six months and apologise for smearing and insulting campaigners. It is vital the inquiry has full statutory powers to compel the production of evidence, and looks at every aspect of the cover up. Those in authority deliberately covered up the systematic rape of thousands of girls as young as 10 because the perpetrators were mainly of Pakistani origin. They thought race relations were more important than protecting young girls. The truth must now come out and people in positions of authority responsible for the cover up held to account. Those who who ignored or hid these crimes should go to prison for the offence of misconduct in public office. The victims who have been so badly let down deserve this justice.
