Sir Keir Starmer angrily shot down a question from Reform UK’s Sarah Pochin after she suggested the Peter Mandelson scandal was distracting him from addressing the grooming gang crisis.
“Every day that the Prime Minister fails to act or even acknowledge Pakistani grooming gangs that rape and torture vulnerable white girls, more victims continue to suffer,” the Runcorn and Helsby MP said.
She questioned: “Whilst he spends his energy forcing friends of paedophiles into top jobs, why not use that energy to stop that disgrace?”
The Prime Minister hit back furiously: “I spent many years prosecuting paedophiles who are now in prison, so I really don’t need lectures from Reform around this.”
