Andy Burnham calls on Home Secretary to intervene and deport a trio of Rochdale grooming gang members

Andy Burnham has called on Home Secretary Priti Patel to step in and deport three members of Rochdale's infamous sex grooming gang.

The mayor spoke out a day after the M.E.N. revealed the father of the main victim was 'absolutely disgusted' that one member of the gang had swerved deportation and two others were still fighting to remain after renouncing their Pakistan citizenship.

On Monday, it emerged Abdul Aziz, 51, referred to by the gang as Master Aziz, was told by the Home Office that despite losing an appeal depriving him of UK citizenship in 2018 he would not in fact lose his citizenship and was allowed to remain in the UK.
