Meanwhile back in Rotherham:
Quote:
Government commissioners have been lined up to intervene at Rotherham Council where a culture of "complete denial" over child sexual exploitation in the town was exposed.
A report commissioned by Communities Secretary Eric Pickles said the authority was "not fit for purpose".
Council leader Paul Lakin has resigned and the council cabinet will also quit.
An earlier inquiry found 1,400 children were abused by gangs of men, mainly of Pakistani origin, from 1997 to 2013.
The National Crime Agency (NCA) said the latest report, by Louise Casey, the director-general for troubled families at the Communities Department, identified "a number of potentially criminal matters".
Files passed to the NCA relate to one former and one existing councillor arising from the inquiry, Ms Casey's spokesperson said.
Investigators found the council had a "deep-rooted" culture of cover-ups and silencing whistleblowers, Ms Casey said.

Another massive failure 'on Labour's watch' to add to the appalling N. Staffs. scandal. They just love to bang on about how the NHS is safe in their hands and that child welfare is a top priority but these events paint a rather different picture. Truly shocking!
