Isn't she T2DM? It was Theresa May who is T1DM. I don't think Ms Abbott was hypoglycaemic as it's unlikely she would have been using insulin.
This. The Tories of the last 13 years were the worst government I have ever seen and probably ever will, so I want a bit more than "well it's not as bad as the last lot".

Agree with your point though
Probably says more about you than me.
Hold on. The Middle East is on the verge of nuclear war and you think this is to hush up a court case?
What, so everything just has to stop because the last lot were terrible?
I don’t think hushing up is the term I’d use, in fact I think the opposite, the media is going to be all over the next court case of that type and it would be really useful to be able to point to an Inquiry in progress for their “we’re listening” PR response.
If we're all still here........
Settle down xx
Who said i'm Tory or reform.So every Tory/Reform supporter on NSC now gets to start their very own personal Labour bashing thread ?
Lovely
Can't we all fit in that fabled secret bunker in Sarfwick tunnel
As you have clearly demonstrated, with your quotes and links, the waters are VERY muddied - often for political reasons and poor recording...!Can you provide a source for that ?, I don't think anyone would dispute CSE being mainly perpetrated by white british given the large majority in this country but the below link gives credence to the view that there is an over representation of asian minorities committing the group child sexual abuse when viewed as a percentage of population. Hopefully the new finding from the report to produce better demographic data of both offenders and victims will answer a grey area question.
If you read further down the statements are:
Whilst the Children’s Commissioner for England did not make a distinction between groups and gangs, it described Asian and Black offenders as being seen as perpetrators of group-based CSE in proportions greater than expected from their proportions of the general population, and in greater proportions than when looking at all forms of CSE (ibid.). Combined with the fact that ethnicity was frequently unknown or unrecorded and that a large number of police forces did not make a return, this dataset is therefore only partial and unsuitable for generalisation. Additionally, it is worth noting that law enforcement data are particularly vulnerable to bias, in terms of which cases come to the attention of authorities, and this can impact the generalisability of such data (Cockbain et al., 2020).
CEOP analysed 2,379 people referred for alleged involvement in ’localised grooming’; some of these will have been CSE. Of these, 1,162 people had to be excluded from the analysis due to a lack of basic information about them, showing the lack of consistent and detailed recording in some areas. When ethnicity was examined for the remaining 1,217 individuals, it was found that 30% were White and 28% were Asian. However, with a further 38% of alleged offenders being of unknown ethnicity, it is not possible to draw any firm conclusions from these figures (CEOP, 2011).
Both CEOP and the Children’s Commissioner for England’s studies demonstrate that offending is not solely an Asian problem, but problems with the data make them unsuitable for drawing further conclusions. The Drew review found that 65.1% of CSE suspects identified between January 2014 and January 2016 were White North European (with a further 2.4% being White South European), 19.1% were Asian, 3.7% were Black and 4.3% were ‘Other’. However, ethnicity was not known or recorded in 5.3% of cases and these proportions were not compared with local populations (Drew, 2016). Regardless, these numbers further dispute the idea of offending being unique to one ethnic group.
Research by Quilliam asserted that 84% of 264 offenders convicted for grooming gang offences between 2005 and 2017 were Asian, 8% were Black, 7% were White and 1% were of unknown ethnicity (Rafiq and Adil, 2017). This figure of 84% has been widely repeated as academic evidence for an extreme over-representation of Asian offenders despite a lack of clarity about sampling and data analysis methods (Cockbain and Tufail, 2020). For example, the authors identify 264 offenders, but do not specify how they were found, or how their ethnicity was categorised. These findings are therefore not suitable for drawing conclusions about ethnicity of group-based CSE offenders.
That article featured loads of recent examples from those institutions you mention. You'll also have to find examples from Labour and the 'left wing media' that have bounced dead cats of late. You'll probably struggle because:
If you listen to Baroness Casey it doesn't sound as though it's going to be that muddy, more of a cover up. I'll leave it there though now.
