Discussing Rape Gangs Is ‘Little Trumpet’ and ‘Dogwhistle’ – Guido Fawkes

Labour Minister Powell: Discussing Rape Gangs Is ‘Little Trumpet’ and ‘Dogwhistle’

mdi-fullscreen

A seriously eyebrow-raising set of comments from Commons leader Lucy Powell on Any Questions last night during a discussion around councils with Tim Montgomerie:

• Montgomerie: “I don’t know if you saw that documentary on Channel 4 about rape gangs?“
• Lucy Powell: “Oh, we want to blow that little trumpet now, do we? Let’s get that dog whistle out, shall we, yeah?“

Listen to the full clip above. Think co-conspirators can make up their own minds about that…

UPDATE: A Reform spokesman tells Guido:

“Lucy Powell’s comments are nothing short of abhorrent. It’s quite clear that Labour aren’t taking the mass rape of British women and girls seriously. It’s high time a national inquiry with statutory powers was launched, if not, Reform will do this within our first month of taking office. Keir Starmer should now be considering her position in Government, is she really fit to serve with these comments?”
