In one of the most distressing scandals in modern British history, thousands of girls — some as young as 11 — were groomed, raped and trafficked by organised gangs in towns such as Rotherham, Rochdale, Telford and Oxford.

The 2014 Jay Report revealed that......

Recent Labour cuts to benefits have reignited public anger, with many arguing that they mirror the brutality of Tory austerity. Despite rhetoric about protecting the vulnerable, Labour’s welfare reductions—amounting to £4.8 billion in savings, are......

Despite finding no drugs in her possession, Trainee Detective Constable Kristina Linge, PC Victoria Wray, and PC Rafal Szmydynski proceeded with an invasive strip-search, without any appropriate adult......
