## Resource

The grooming gang scandal has taken an outrageous turn today with news that the Rochdale grooming gang leader, Shabir Ahmed, has been released from prison. To make matters worse, there is currently no way to deport him to Pakistan. The government is now scrambling fiercely to find a way to make it happen, and joining us to discuss this are Former Detective Constable Maggie Oliver, Reform UK MP Sarah Pochin, and Talk Reporter Samara Gill. We also have a rundown of the day's papers with Assistant Comment Editor at The Telegraph, Poppy Coburn, and the latest on Burnham and Labour with author and Daily Mail Columnist Sarah Vine. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
