One of the reasons why Shabana Mahmood was appointed home secretary was because, as justice secretary, when the Tories came at her with a two-tier justice attack line that was being enthusiastically embraced by the rightwing media, she saw them off swiftly and effectively (essentially, by coopting the argument and responding). Today she is performing a similar rebuttal operation on the grooming gangs inquiry, which is another area where the Daily Mail/GB News etc are on the warpath and the government is floundering.
I want local residents to be aware that I have received threats of death and violence directly posted in response to a misleading video recently shared by the MP for Keighley and Ilkley, Robbie Moore. These have been reported to the police, and an investigation is currently under way. It is irresponsible behaviour for any MP of any party to put out such blatant misinformation about a colleague.
