Before Andy Burnham Reaches Number 10

I Need 2,000 People Willing To Help Me See Him Held To Account

For almost eight years, I have been exposing how politicians, police officers, and public officials helped cover up the industrial-scale gang rape of White working-class girls by predominantly networks of Pakistani men.

One of the individuals whose actions I have repeatedly brought to public attention is Andy Burnham.

As Mayor of Greater Manchester, Burnham fronted the Oldham Assurance Review. Had this report succeeded in what it set out to do, there would now be no national inquiry.

I have spent years documenting the failures, omissions, and unanswered questions surrounding that review and the wider scandal. Former detective Maggie Oliver has since described the Assurance Review as "all but a cover-up."

She is right. It was a cover-up of the cover-up. And Andy Burnham was responsible for publishing it. Now there is a very real possibility that Andy Burnham could become Prime Minister. If that happens, the pressure to protect him, and others involved, will increase dramatically.

The institutions that failed these children once will not suddenly develop the courage to hold powerful people accountable. Much of the mainstream media will continue to look the other way. Most will prefer silence to scrutiny.

This means the responsibility falls to us. The truth will only reach the public if enough people are willing to share it. My newsletter, Red Wall and the Rabble, is where I publish my work directly. No algorithms. No gatekeepers. No censorship.

Everything remains free to read.

In May alone, more than 1.18 million people viewed my work on Facebook, generating over 4.7 million content views. The appetite for the truth is there.

But views are not enough. Social media platforms can suppress content, restrict reach, or remove accounts entirely. The closer we get to forcing powerful people to answer difficult questions, the greater those risks become.

This is why I am asking for your support. After years of effort, we have built a community of just over 10,000 subscribers. But if we are serious about exposing the full truth, holding powerful people accountable, and ensuring these stories cannot be buried, we must now build something far bigger than a newsletter.

For years, Red Wall and the Rabble has largely been a one-man operation. Just me. Doing everything.

Despite that, we have broken stories, challenged powerful institutions, reached millions of people, and helped force issues into the national conversation that many would have preferred remained hidden.

Imagine what could be achieved if we had the resources to do more.

A professional website capable of reaching much larger audiences.
Professional editing and video production to turn investigations into content that can reach millions more people.
Dedicated research support to help uncover information faster and pursue leads that currently go unexplored.
In-person events, workshops and training sessions to help develop the next generation of citizen journalists, campaigners and investigators.
The ability to travel, gather evidence, meet whistleblowers, and report directly from the communities affected.
A platform that is not dependent on the whims of social media companies and cannot simply disappear because an algorithm changes.

In short, we need to build an organisation capable of challenging institutions that possess vastly greater resources, influence and power than we do.

That cannot be achieved through goodwill alone. It requires people who believe in this work to help fund it. So today I am setting a target.

Before Andy Burnham becomes Prime Minister, I want to add 2,000 new paid subscribers to Red Wall and the Rabble.

Not 2,000 readers. Not 2,000 social media followers. 2,000 people willing to help build an independent platform capable of exposing what powerful institutions want hidden.

If we achieve that goal, we can begin expanding our campaign, improve our video production, strengthen our research capabilities, host events and training workshops, and build something capable of challenging the establishment on equal terms.

I am not proposing this because it would make life easier for me. It would not. The work with take a lot more from me. I am proposing this because it would make it far harder for them to bury the truth.

The next phase of this fight is approaching.

If you believe the victims deserve justice, if you believe powerful people should be held accountable for their actions, and if you want to help build a platform capable of exposing what others refuse to touch, please become a paid subscriber today.

Help me reach 2,000 new paid subscribers before Andy Burnham reaches Number 10.

Together, we can build something that outlasts every politician, every cover-up, and every attempt to silence the truth.

Thank you.
