Ann Cryer MP—who was among the first to expose child grooming gangs back in the early 2000s—faced intense backlash and was falsely branded a racist for speaking out.

It’s a stark reminder of how difficult it has been historically for whistleblowers to be heard—especially when systemic failures are involved.
Let me know if you’d like more background on Ann Cryer’s campaign or the wider inquiry into these horrific crimes.
