Ex-Reform MP Rupert Lowe’s grooming gang inquiry branded ‘an utter shambles’ by ‘dropped’ member

A project leader involved in an investigation into grooming gangs set up by ex-Reform MP Rupert Lowe has launched a stinging attack on its work.

Donna Rachel Edmunds, the founder of the National Archive for the Survivors of Grooming Gangs, claimed she has been dropped from the panel and described the operation as an “utter shambles” in a strongly-worded statement posted on social media.
