Andy Burnham has vowed to ask government ministers to “review all possible options” to ensure the ringleader of the Rochdale grooming gang can be deported.
The Makerfield MP, who is widely expected to succeed Sir Keir Starmer as prime minister later this month, on Wednesday signalled a hardline approach to perpetrators involved in the grooming gang scandal, after it was revealed ringleader Shabir Ahmed, 73, cannot be deported due to a legal loophole.
