THE RAPE GANG COVER UP CONTINUES For decades, working-class White girls were gang raped, trafficked and sexually exploited on an industrial scale across towns and cities in Britain. The police, councils and prosecuting authorities repeatedly failed to protect them. Now the former Labour Party Prime Minister who ran the Crown Prosecution Service from 2008 to 2013 has been granted special legal rights inside the national inquiry investigating those failures. INSTEAD OF BEING SUMMONED TO ANSWER FOR HIS DECISIONS, KEIR STARMER HAS BEEN HANDED A SET OF LEGAL RIGHTS INSIDE THE NATIONAL GROOMING GANGS INQUIRY. - He can receive relevant evidence before it is examined publicly. - He can instruct lawyers to represent his interests throughout the proceedings. - He can make formal submissions, seek permission for his lawyers to question witnesses and challenge evidence that affects him. - He can also respond to proposed significant criticism before it is published. HE CAN SEE RELEVANT EVIDENCE, PREPARE HIS DEFENCE, CHALLENGE WHAT IS SAID AND MAKE HIS CASE BEFORE THE INQUIRY REACHES ITS CONCLUSIONS. Now consider who else has been protected. YVETTE COOPER was Home Secretary when Labour resisted demands for a National Statutory Inquiry. SHABANA MAHMOOD was Home Secretary when Baroness Longfield was appointed and the inquiry's terms were agreed. ANGELA RAYNER holds responsibility for local government, including councils whose failures are being examined. SIR MARK ROWLEY commands the Metropolitan Police, whose response is also under scrutiny. THE CHILDREN HAD NONE OF THE PROTECTION THEY NEEDED. NOW THE PEOPLE WHO HELD POWER HAVE LAWYERS, DISCLOSURE RIGHTS AND PROCEDURAL SAFEGUARDS. Ask yourself why not a single reporter, journalist or mainstream news channel is sharing with you this information. Then you will understand why my voice is blacklisted and those in power tried to have me imprisoned for leading the campaign to force a reckoning. ________ You know what we are up against. The mainstream media will not touch my work. Institutions I investigate do not volunteer their records. Politicians do not suddenly decide to hold themselves to account. And yet, despite all of that, we forced the national inquiry. We did that because enough ordinary people refused to go away. But getting the inquiry was never the end of this campaign. In many ways it was only the beginning. Now we have to watch where it goes, what it investigates, which places it avoids, which witnesses it calls, which records it obtains and whether the same institutions that failed these children are allowed to control the story again. Nobody else is going to do that work for us. And I cannot do it indefinitely working on my own. I need people behind me who can take care of the technical and production work so that I can spend my time doing the thing I do best.

Unfortunately, we are reaching the end of the road where I can continue working this way. The paid subscriptions have stalled. Worse, tens of thousands of people are now reading these articles without even joining the free mailing list. The audience is growing, but the number of people actually standing behind the work is not growing with it. Over a million people engaged in my content this weekend. Only a small fraction followed up with a subscription to my newsletter. This is becoming impossible to sustain. We forced the inquiry. Now we need the numbers to make sure they cannot control what happens next. Raja Miah MBE
