5 minutes ago he was shouting and screaming himself that anyone who wanted this enquiry was extreme far right… and in January he was actively trying to block it.

This would hold more weight if he hadn’t gone all in on the ‘nation of strangers’ nonsense.
If he feels that way, then he probably should resign and take most his front bench with him.
We had about half a day of the government taking this seriously before it turned into finger pointing and passing the blame to someone else.
He is rightly saying that those who held the power to impliment an enquiry in the previous government shouldn’t now be complaining about Labour actually doing it now.
He will do the same, nothing and kick the can down the road.
Just like most of the Labour party, then…
Except they were shouting and screaming for people to stop noticing and ignore it all for the good of diversity.
Wasn’t Rotherham Council almost entirely controlled by Labour the entire time? Why does this feel like a PR release?
I don’t care who did what and when what I care about is what are you doing now to punish those who need punishing and what are you doing to make sure this shit never happens again.
Almost bizarre, completely incoherent like of thought.
