Keir Starmer IGNORED Rotherham grooming gangs whistleblower as she battled bullying ordeal - 'He didn't even bother!'

Sir Keir Starmer ignored a letter from the whistleblower who exposed the Rotherham grooming gangs scandal as she suffered through a bullying ordeal, GB News can exclusively reveal. Jayne Senior has opened up on how Labour's top brass left her feeling "sidelined" and like she "wasn't even worthy of a call, a letter or a meeting" despite her being subjected to a "despicable witch hunt" at the hands of council officials.

Starmer was told that Senior "consistently faced hostility from within the Labour Party and the local authority which is Labour-controlled" over her attempts to make public the scale of the abuse. Senior, who was made an MBE by the late Queen in 2016, was elected as a Labour councillor after she worked to uncover the rape gangs atrocity in the town - and has worked with grooming victims in South Yorkshire since 1999.

But despite her efforts in uncovering the abuse, the Labour council was forced to apologise to her after it misled her in an investigation into her conduct at her charity. The Local Government Ombudsman found that Rotherham Council had misled Senior about the investigation and delayed its response, keeping the whistleblower in limbo for years.

Allies of Senior maintain that the investigation was a politically-motivated witch hunt launched against her after she worked to reveal the extent of the abuse in the town - and how council officials had covered it up. At the time, a council spokeswoman said: "The council received complaints from survivors of child sexual exploitation about the practice at Swinton Lock Activity Centre, which at that time was commissioned by the council to provide post-child sexual exploitation support to survivors and their families.

"Given the history of child sexual exploitation in Rotherham and the previous failure of agencies to properly support survivors, the council commissioned an independent investigation into complaints about Swinton Lock Activity Centre." The spokeswoman added that the council had sent written apologies to the trustees of the charity.

A series of Government reports revealed that at least 1,400 children - predominantly white girls - had been sexually exploited by predominantly Pakistani gangs from 1997 to 2013.
