muslim vote. but more importantly, labour could call a national inquiry today., no vote is needed in the house of commons to do this. well. reform uk, of course, have been critical of both major political parties. they backed the tory amendment, but nigel farage called the vote insincere. reform, of course, is the only major uk party to mention the grooming gang epidemic in their manifesto. and today zia yousef, the party chairman, also recommitted to their earlier pledge, claiming that they will hold a private inquiry into grooming gangs if labour doesn't launch a national one. look, i want to be frank with everybody tonight. reform will be under the same scrutiny to deliver on their promises, not just by me, but by you at home. the entire british public. words will not cut it any more. this scandal is not going to go away, no matter how hard political parties, mps and the establishment try to brush it out of the public discourse. these victims will not be silenced again. we are giving them a platform and a voice, and we're not going to stop talking about it. t

up with reform being labelled as the anti—muslim party, and every, every mosque in the country will rally against that, and that will see out a few of the labour, labour mps that they would normally have been voted in. and of course, the red wall that was the blue wall was now the red wall again, i don't know. >> hold on. are you talking about for the next local elections or by the next general election? well, i would think whatever's going on in the middle east will have changed so dramatically. yeah. >> by that time, i don't mean i don't i don't mean to associate it with the middle east whatsoever. what's going on in this country and this country alone is, is , is so relevant now alone is, is, is so relevant now when it comes to the comes to the independent muslim mps, they are standing on blasphemy laws. they are standing against traditional british cultural values and they are winning. and when reform not winning in huge numbers. but i don't see them. i don't see them getting attacked. yeah. >> and of course the population is growing at a clip. moving on. we've got the guardian now and musk has been accused of politicising the grooming gan

muslimism. they just don't. they just don't care. they're labour. these are people who care about feelings before facts. >> do you think paul's paul's take on it has got maybe some more believability that they're afraid rather than just they don't care. and randomly through this not caring a thing happens. paups this not caring a thing happens. paul's point is like there's a bit of steering happening here to try and keep a vote. >> well, the reason they're afraid is because they've sucked up to the muslims for so long that they don't want to lose the muslim vote because people are not they're not, they're not bringing. keir starmer brings nobody joy in this country. >> the problem, i think, lewis, is if they bring in an islamic islamophobia definition, which in itself creates another form of racism and help protect future grooming gangs or protect by protecting future grooming gangs, i mean, preventing whistleblowers, holding back people, parents, for instance, let's not forget, in this grooming gang scandal, parents were arrested, parents were arre

so could the fundamental threat that is actually posing the labour party in these heavily muslim seatse the reason behind labour's reluctance to treat the grooming gang scandal with the attention that it really deserves? well, either way, let me say this because so few people in the corridors of power appear willing to say it. what we need in this country is a national inquiry to name and shame the complicit public officials in councils, the police and the legal system. and we need to start [000:10:00;00] [000:10:00;00]

a condescending attitude from actually people on all sides who talk about things like the muslim vote and labourorried about upsetting the muslim vote. i think worried about

a condescending attitude from actually people on all sides who talk about things like the muslim vote and labourorried about upsetting the muslim vote. i think if we look across at donald trump more recently, he has built the most diverse voting coalition in anybody's lifetime. and that goes to show there isn't, quote unquote, a muslim vote, a female vote, a working class vote, or any of this sort of stuff. people's votes are there to be had, and i don't discount it goes on in some areas where there'll be pockets of areas where groups of people may vote for the same thing, but i don't know why it happens. i think that would be the benefit of an inquiry. >> but we've seen chloe over the past few weeks. a few of these victims have come out and spoke on tv or through the media or whatever, have told on tv or through the med

muslim. is there a reluctance by some of these labour mps to mention the fact that these grooming gangs are ledominantly pakistani men? is this going to alienate the muslim vote for labour? >> this is very, very, very difficult situation. and we keep saying, and i must say this, every government has had this issue to face, and all of them find it extremely difficult. >> well, i'll be asking both wes streeting and the shadow home secretary, chris philp, about it on the show a little later. let's 1512 00:07:55,752 --> 00:07:55

voters, from muslim communities, and from the fact that many of labour'sical left progressive mps cannot accept what this scandal is telling us, that multiculturalism in britain is not working, that mass immigration in britain is not working, and that the entire progressive worldview, which would have you believe that minorities are good and the majority is bad, has been turned on its head by this scandal, which has shown that actually members of a minority community are willing to rape, abuse and harass members of the majority. that's my view on what's happened tonight. i think it's shameful, and i think that many people out there in the country, millions of people, the forgotten majority, will not let the labour party forget what they think about this issue. as always, let me know your views via gbnews.com/yoursay. tweet me on x at goodwin mj. but tonight i'm joined by my panel to discuss this issue. leader writer at the telegraph, sam ashworth hayes and a journalist and broadcaster matthew stadlen. now, sam, to me it feels as though the pressure on labo

then chair of the labour party to not talk about this issue, to coverit to not talk about this issue, to cover it up because they thought it would mean they got fewer votes from the muslimcommunity. a shameful act by the labour party chair at the time. so this is why we now need a full public inquiry to get to the truth. a pubuc inquiry to get to the truth. a public inquiry has the power to summon witnesses, give evidence under oath, requisition documents. now, it can't take too long. it should be a focused and relatively, relatively rapid pubuc and relatively, relatively rapid public inquiry. but the public deserve the truth. and most importantly, the victims young, vulnerable girls. >> so are you saying systemically gang raped 3018

elon musk is going to war with labour over their terrible history with the muslim rape gang scandal, and senior american figures are calling for trump to impose sanctions on the uk until the issue is dealt with properly. we're used to seeing america use its might to impose regime change on failed states. could britain be next? well, fingers crossed. and afghanistan's leader, haibatullah akhundzada, don't say that too quickly or your furniture will start floating. is the man who put the ban in taliban? their latest decree has banned windows to stop men looking at women. i don't mean the microsoft operating system. i mean the actual holes in houses that let people look in. in afghanistan, they're going to brick up windows that overlook women's spaces. and if you're born after 1920 and aren't sure what a woman's space is, they mean kitchens and laundry areas, progressive. and in a wild twist of modern love advice, the guardian has published a column where a woman defends her boyfriend's hobby of trolling right wing social media accounts because apparently online abuse is okay if your ta
