00:00Thank you, Mr Speaker. Thousands of young, white, British working-class girls have been raped, tortured and abused by Pakistani grooming gangs.
00:08And yet this minister here refuses to support a full national public inquiry.
00:13And what I want to know is, Mr Speaker, is she part of the cover-up?
00:15It really doesn't deserve a response.
00:28And I actually quite like the honourable gentleman.
00:31I have spent my entire career, help it, I wonder how many victims he has sat and held hands with in court of grooming gangs.
00:41How many he has gone round to their house in the morning to get them out of bed, to get them into a courtroom.
00:47There is absolutely no way that I would be part of any cover-up.
00:53I will do everything I can under a Home Secretary who will do everything she can to make sure that those who are responsible are held accountable.
