Survivors were sent emails attempting to expand the scope of the inquiry “should it focus on grooming gangs or take a broader approach”

A meeting with a refusal to hold an investigation, which then turned into a ‘regional investigation’ instead of just investigating bradford

Jess also claims that the inquiry is independent of the home office, that she had no idea who was on the panel and that she had no knowledge of the scope being expanded. None of this is true, because I raised my concerns personally with her

@fionagoddarduk @fionagoddarduk have you read Dr Mark Peels review of kirklees council back in 2019? I'm currently using it in my complaint to the council

@Jhmufc99 I have knowledge of it but havent read the whole thing

@fionagoddarduk Isn’t it suspicious all these survivors using the same reasons are reform supporters

@AS7624193449327 Im not a reform supporter lol so that shuts that claim down

@fionagoddarduk I do completely understand why you have resigned. But at the same time, it also seems evident how critical your role is within the inquiry, despite its shortcomings. Is it worth reflecting on whether you will now lose your influence and access to this information outside of

@fionagoddarduk Dear Fiona … as someone who lived in Yorkshire (Leeds)… I am sorry that this has happened to you. I went to uni in Leeds 20 years ago… we heard the horror stories of Bradford. The stories centred around the Muslim men. Some older white folk tried to warn me… saying that

@fionagoddarduk There was a time when I really admired Jess Phillips. She had a fierce energy, an irreverent humour and a real passion for the victims of VAWG. Today in the HoC she seemed both evasive and frazzled. So what happened? I'm afraid it's hard to get beyond her experiences with the

@fionagoddarduk The Labour party simply cannot allow an unbiased, uncontrolled inquiry go ahead. Too many of their "important people" will be dragged into it and publicly shamed. Brown and Starmer to name but two. It would be the final nail in the Labour coffin. Not before time I might add.

@fionagoddarduk DARVO is a common tactic used to deflect, project and victim blame The same thing happened with the rape inquiry When Sammy Woodhouse bullied and abused a number of us One survivor attempted suicide, another ended up in hospital after self harming I kept all the receipts

@fionagoddarduk She’s gaslighting all of you survivors in an attempt to silence you once again. It’s disgusting and completely unprofessional.

@fionagoddarduk Might explain her rattled performance at the dispatch box today. https://x.com/i/status/1980651...

@fionagoddarduk @penelopeessence This sounds like a deliberate attempt to dilute the severity of the issue on grooming gangs and disrupt finds and stats with watered down figures for all CSE. With the clear intention of removing the focus on a particular religion and demographic at the very centre of the

@fionagoddarduk This is obscene. Trying to expand the scope is doing absolutely nothing but trying to obfuscate the issue.

@fionagoddarduk Both you and Ellie are smart and intelligent women. You both knew something didn’t feel right and acted on it. Respect to both of you for speaking out.

@fionagoddarduk Keep up the good fight Fiona. I, like all decent Brits, am proud of your strength & determination to see justice done. Phillips slow, antagonistic, & defensive attitude makes her a very poor choice for her role in the government oversite of this essential process of justice.

@fionagoddarduk There needs to be consequences for Jess Phillips and those like her. Investigation, a trial and if found guilty imprisonment. @reformparty_uk needs to onclude this in their manifesto

@fionagoddarduk Good on you for standing your ground, Fiona. They can’t silence survivors forever – the truth will come out, no matter how hard Labour tries to bury it.

@fionagoddarduk Jess doesn’t give a toss.

@fionagoddarduk The only thing Jess Phillips is interested in is Jess Phillips

@fionagoddarduk This means she is lying to parliament.

@fionagoddarduk Covering her own back hoping no one will notice?

@fionagoddarduk This is truly shocking but not surprising coming from a Labour minister or @UKLabour who have tried to brush this scandal under the carpet at every opportunity.

@fionagoddarduk Incredible that those in positions of authority can brazenly lie and not expect to be called out about it

@fionagoddarduk Our ministers really do think they create the truth by saying what they want it to be.

@fionagoddarduk Jess Phillips won’t do anything as she wants to keep her seat.

@fionagoddarduk Your courage is an inspiration. You have more support than you can imagine. This issue is being watched by the world. 🙏

@fionagoddarduk So sorry that you and thousands like you have been so badly let down by this government, the one before, Social Workers, the Police, and local politicians.
