The Prime Minister Must Be Called to Testify. If Found Responsible, He Must Be Prosecuted.
Keir Starmer's CPS Turned a Rape Victim Into a Paedophile and Protected a Pakistani Rape Gang Member From Prosecution
Keir Starmer stood in front of the cameras in January last year and told the country that anyone demanding a grooming gangs inquiry was jumping on "the bandwagon of the far right." He said those raising the issue were spreading lies and debasing themselves and their country.
He said this while knowing what the CPS had done in Rochdale to Ruby and to Amber, whilst he had been in charge of the organisation.
Rochdale
Between 2008 and 2010, a child abuse ring that came to be known as part of the “grooming gang” phenomenon operated in Rochdale, Greater Manchester. Girls aged between 13 and 15 were trafficked, prostituted, raped and assaulted by the gang.
One victim was forced to have sex with at least 20 men in one night; another was forced to drink vodka, and was vomiting over the side of the bed while being raped by “countless men”.
The perpetrators would pass the girls to their friends, often to settle a debt. The victims, many of whom were from difficult backgrounds and therefore particularly vulnerable, were plied with drugs, alcohol and fast food, and then taken to “chill houses” across the north of England to be abused.
One 13-year-old victim became pregnant and had an abortion. Some of the men involved were arrested, tried and found guilty. The vast majority escaped prosecution.
We know know the same was taking place to over 100,000 girls in over 100 towns and cities across the country.
Starmer's CPS Had DNA. It Chose Conspiracy Charges.
Ruby was raped five days a week from the age of twelve to fifteen. The gang got her blackout drunk and threatened her with a gun when she refused. She has special needs.
She was thirteen when Adil Khan impregnated her. Greater Manchester Police took her aborted foetus and froze it without her knowledge or consent. Starmer's CPS had DNA evidence linking Khan directly to the rape of a child. They did not charge him with rape and went for conspiracy instead. Khan served four years of an eight-year sentence and walked out in 2016. He still lives in Rochdale.
Ruby told the Daily Express: "They had DNA, concrete evidence and still didn't get him charged with rape. It's absolutely vile. How can he stand there and say he did a good job?"
Khan has never been deported. Ruby knows he is just one of many men who got away with what they did to her. So does Starmer.
They Named Her a Paedophile. Their Own Files Called It Tactics.
Amber's case is perhaps worse.
Senior CPS lawyers confirmed she was a victim. She gave hours of testimony to Maggie Oliver detailing what the gang had done to her and to other children.
The CPS put her name on the indictment as a perpetrator. They told the court she was a teenage pimp procuring children for the gang. Their own internal records called it a tactical decision.
They never arrested her, never cautioned her, and never told her what was being said about her in that courtroom under her real name.
After the trial Amber received death threats. Her address was circulated and people who believed she was a paedophile came for her. Social services moved to take her infant child because of what appeared against her name on the indictment.

Oliver told the Express: "That tactic against a vulnerable victim of horrendous abuse was inhumane, unlawful and should never be used. They didn't arrest Amber, they never cautioned her, she didn't even know that she was being portrayed in that trial as an older madame who was procuring children for the gang. And it was a complete lie."
She was a confirmed rape victim named as a criminal in open court without her knowledge. Starmer spent the years afterwards telling Parliament it was his record.
An Independent Reviewer Called It Deplorable. Starmer Called It Success.
Andy Burnham commissioned an independent review of the CPS's conduct in Rochdale in 2017. Unlike in Oldham, in the main due to Maggie Oliver's oversight, it was not the same level of cover up as his Assurance Review in Oldham.
It found the CPS had either ignored or not considered the risk to Amber's safety, showed an unacceptable lack of concern for a vulnerable survivor, and had committed "deplorable further abuse of a CSE survivor."
That is a formal finding, not a political claim.
The CPS told the Express this week that past decisions reflected the law and practice at the time. The law did not require them to name a confirmed rape victim as a paedophile without telling her, and nothing in prosecutorial practice required it either. It was a choice the independent reviewer already described as deplorable.
In 2022 Greater Manchester Police formally apologised to Amber and recognised her as a victim. Starmer was still citing Rochdale as his record when that apology was issued.
Labour Told the MP Raising the Alarm to Remember What the Vote Was Worth.
While Starmer's CPS was using Amber as a courtroom tool, the Labour Party was making sure nobody senior would answer for it.Simon Danczuk was the Labour MP for Rochdale when the 2012 convictions came through. He said publicly that race and religion were key factors in the abuse.
Tony Lloyd, then Chairman of the Parliamentary Labour Party, stopped him in a corridor outside the chamber. Lloyd told him race and religion were not relevant and that the Pakistani community was a big voting bloc for Labour. Danczuk submitted a formal account to the national inquiry in 2017 naming Lloyd directly, and that submission has been on record for eight years.
Lloyd's position was not complicated. He was standing down as an MP to run for Greater Manchester Police Commissioner, a campaign requiring Muslim community support to win. He won. He became head of the force that had just failed hundreds of girls across Greater Manchester. He came to Rochdale after the scandal broke and told a public meeting: "I'm here to celebrate multiculturalism."
Local Labour councillors told Danczuk he was raising the issue too much, and a Labour member wrote to a newspaper telling him to remember which community had got him elected. The party made clear where its priorities sat.
The cover-up of the industrial-scale rape of children points to something deeper. The biraderi networks control the bloc vote across large parts of northern England and function as a cartel, determining the outcomes of local elections and parliamentary seats. The Labour Party made itself dependent on them and that dependency shaped not just their politics but their prosecutions.
He Is Still in Rochdale. They Are Still Running the Inquiry.
Khan was convicted in 2012 and a court ordered his deportation in 2014, but he appealed on legal aid. A second order came in 2018, at which point he renounced his Pakistani citizenship, made himself stateless, and Pakistan refused to take him.
He has now vanished.
BBC News
The man Starmer's CPS failed to charge with rape served four years and remained in the same town as his victim. The government now running the national inquiry into why that happened has spent the last year failing to remove him before allowing him to vanish. That government has just appointed a Labour Party peer to run the national inquiry.
The CPS Must Be Investigated. Starmer Must Testify.
The national inquiry was forced out of this government by public pressure Starmer spent months calling far-right. Its current terms of reference are designed to limit what can be found. I have documented elsewhere how that works in practice, including the shielding of the Home Office from scrutiny and a timeline constructed to fail.
The Crown Prosecution Service must fall within the inquiry's scope. The 2017 review is a formal finding against a named institution. The inquiry must compel CPS witnesses to give evidence under oath about who authorised what was done to Amber, who knew, and what reached the Director of Public Prosecutions.
Starmer cited Rochdale against Musk, at the despatch box, and as justification for blocking an inquiry. He called it his record and built his political identity around it. A man who tells Parliament "I brought the first major prosecution of an Asian grooming gang" cannot then argue that institutional decisions did not reach him. He claimed the credit and he answers for the conduct.
Under oath he must explain what his CPS did to Amber, why Khan faced conspiracy charges when his organisation held DNA evidence of rape, when he first became aware of the 2017 review's findings, and why he continued citing Rochdale as success after reading them. He has no answer to those questions that his own public statements do not contradict.
There Is a Charge. It Carries Life.
If the inquiry finds that Starmer had knowledge of and responsibility for decisions that wilfully harmed victims or protected perpetrators from full prosecution, misconduct in public office is the charge. It carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment and applies to a public officer whose wilful conduct amounts to an abuse of the public's trust.
The conduct the independent reviewer described as inhumane and unlawful was committed by his institution, under his leadership, and claimed by him as achievement. Whether that crosses the criminal threshold is for a court to determine, but whether it warrants referral has only one answer.
There is no legal provision for a Prime Minister to stand above the law. Neither Ruby nor Amber had any such protection.
Justice is Coming
Khan raped Ruby at gunpoint from the age of twelve and Starmer's CPS, holding DNA evidence of rape, charged him with conspiracy. He served four years and walked out.
Amber was a confirmed rape victim and Starmer's CPS named her a paedophile in open court without telling her, filed it as a tactical decision, and watched her spend years in hiding while death threats came through her door.
Starmer then stood at a despatch box and told Parliament both cases were his record. When the country demanded answers he called it a far-right bandwagon, and when the pressure became unbearable he announced an inquiry and put himself in charge of it.
Khan is still missing having evaded deportation for years. Thousands of Pakistani men that gang raped little White girls are still walking free. Those that protected them have been promoted. Starmer is now in Downing Street. A national inquiry must now act. And if it fails to do so, those that would form the next government must confirm that they would investigate the CPS and force Starmer to testify under oath.

This work is free because the truth must circulate. But truth without numbers is easy to crush. The government does not fear facts. It fears scale.
The Labour Party fears thousands reading, sharing, and backing the same work because numbers mean witnesses, pressure, and consequences. That’s why this matters.
