Jess Phillips - Safeguarding Minister - says girls have told her about police officers not just covering up child rape gangs, but perpetrating them. She has serious questions to answer. How long did she know for? Did she report it? Why then did she oppose a national inquiry?

Labour hike your taxes – while dodging their own. Britain needs lower spending and lower taxes. Only Conservatives will deliver both.
