I was making an incredibly important speech today at full council about our most vulnerable children. Yet, regardless of political party, not one of them would allow me to speak and, perhaps more importantly, not one of them were willing to listen. This is not new. For far too long, politicians have failed to listen. And for years, the very parties THEY represent have failed our nation and, most tragically of all, failed and continue to fail our children. One of the most prominent and disturbing examples is the rape gangs scandal. A deeply shameful chapter in our nation’s history. And what did politicians across the political establishment do while vulnerable children were being abused, raped and tortured? They looked the other way, failed to act, and failed to give these children the safety and the voice they so desperately needed. This cannot continue. Our children deserve politicians who will listen. Our communities deserve representatives who will put people before politics. And future generations deserve leaders who are prepared to confront difficult truths, stand up for the vulnerable, and put the long-term interests of our country ahead of their own political careers. Too often, what we see instead is a self-serving establishment more concerned with protecting itself than protecting the people it was elected to serve. #childrenincare #selfserving #careexperiencedyoungpeople #brokenbritain #toryfailure #establishment #saveourchildren #saveournation #neglect #complexity #exploitation #rapegangs @reformparty_uk
