Politics LIVE: Nigel Farage loses it at ‘cowardly’ Labour in large grooming gangs row | Politics | News | EUROtoday

It shouldn’t be true to counsel Labour is watering down measures to guard towards grooming gangs, Lisa Nandy mentioned.

The Government confronted a backlash within the Commons on Tuesday for not offering an replace on native opinions into grooming it had beforehand promised.

Asked if it was true to counsel ministers had been watering down their plans after the shortage of replace to MPs, the Culture Secretary advised Times Radio: “No, it’s not the truth.

“The reality is that we’re listening to victims and authorities across the nation about the necessity to give them the fitting instruments to deal with it, this very pernicious downside, in their very own areas.

“We believe that decisions are best made by those with skin in the game in their own communities, people who live in those communities, who understand what is happening there.”

Ms Nandy mentioned ministers didn’t need to “impose one system from Whitehall, which might give us a decent press release in the media but doesn’t actually tackle the problem”.
