Exclusive: Did the Met “cover up” a paedophile ring?

from The News Agents

An exclusive investigation by Andy Hughes, co-host of The Crime Agents and LBC crime correspondent, raises disturbing questions about whether a London police officer was operating a grooming gang in the capital. He speaks to Lewis about his report, the accusations of a cover up, and the Met police response. Later, Keir Starmer has been leading efforts today to get Europe to reform the ECHR. He's claimed that the best way to fight "the forces of hate and division" is to show that mainstream politics can fix the problem. Is he right? Jake Richards, the justice minister, came in to the News Agents studio to discuss what's at stake.You can listen to the special investigation from The Crime Agents here:https://www.globalplayer.com/podcasts/42L4DG/Andy's video report is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9f_qHJeCpUThe News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/
