Jayne Senior, a youth services manager who exposed the Rotherham grooming gangs scandal, alleges that Sir Keir Starmer, then leader of the opposition, rejected requests for a meeting and an inquiry into a Labour Party campaign against her.
Sir Keir Starmer allegedly snubbed the whistleblower who exposed the Rotherham grooming gangs scandal. The Prime Minister had been asked to meet with Jayne Senior, a youth services manager who played a major role in uncovering the rape gangs in the town. When Sir Keir was the leader of the opposition in 2020, he was urged to meet with Ms Senior, who was a Labor councillor at the time.
There were also calls for him to launch an inquiry into Labour councillors accused of launching a campaign to 'undermine her and damage her reputation' in a bid to divert attention away from their 'failure to protect children'. However, his office declined both the meeting and calls for the inquiry with Ms Senior telling the Telegraph that the response she received was 'shocking' and 'dismissive'. 'I really thought that because of what I had whistleblown on and my role in Rotherham, I thought he would have at least asked for more information, or agreed to meet me, but no,' Ms Senior said. 'In opposition, Labour were up there shouting for women, for girls, for child abuse, sexual abuse, domestic abuse and then the minute that they become elected, where are they?' Writing to Sir Keir in 2020, Georgina Halford-Hall, the chief executive of WhistleblowersUK, explained the role of Ms Senior in bringing the issue of grooming gangs in Rotherham to national attention.
