Had a very tough day watching certain Tory MPs up in arms about grooming gangs, when they chose to take no action or even investigate the Tory MP that raped me. They heard my story, my parents' pleas, my medical evidence, and still chose to protect, cover up, & even promote him

Kemi Badenoch asked to give any examples of when she has ever raised the issue of grooming gangs in the House of Commons, prior to this week.

TfL quietly published its analysis of @SadiqKhan's £24m "cheaper fares on Friday" scheme before Christmas.
