Police close five-year abuse investigation without charging anyone over children's home scandal

A five-year police investigation into systemic abuse of children with learning disabilities at Hesley Group homes in Doncaster has closed without any staff charged. More than 100 children were punched, kicked, locked outside naked in winter, and subjected to other horrific abuse between 2018-2021 at homes rated good by Ofsted. South Yorkshire Police said the evidential threshold was not met for prosecution, despite a 2023 expert review finding abuse was systemic and sustained. The force only sought CPS advice twice and declined to reveal findings of an internal Hydrant review.

Call for vote on inquiry into claims Starmer lied over Mandelson dismissed by Labour allies – UK politics live

Call for vote on inquiry into claims Starmer lied over Mandelson dismissed by Labour allies – UK politics live

Emily Thornberry says foreign affairs committee already looking into issue and more documents are due to be publishedGood morning. Kemi Badenoch is trying to get Lindsay Hoyle, the speaker, to give MPs a vote on a proposal to get the Commons privileges committee to investigate allegations that Keir Starmer lied to MPs in statements he made to them about the vetting of Peter Mandelson. Other opposition parties may be backing her, but we don’t know for sure because the process is relatively secret; MPs have to write a private letter to the speaker, who then decides whether this is a serious request that should be decided by the Commons as a whole, or a frivolous complaint that should be ignored. (We do know that Karl Turner has written to the speaker about this too, but only because he was daft enough to post his letter on social media last week.) Today we are likely to find out whether or not Hoyle is agreeing to a Commons vote.Boris Johnson was referred to the privileges committee over allegations that he lied to MPs about Partygate (allegations the committee concluded were justified). Badenoch wants to make the case that Starmer is just as dishonest as Johnson. He isn’t, by any stretch, and the claims that Starmer lied to MPs about Mandelson are spurious; they relate to contest intepretations of political language of the kind that are commonplace in parliamentary debate. But the fact that this has even become a live consideration for the speaker is a big win for the Tories.The fact that Kemi Badenoch has changed the accusations she is levelling against the PM on an almost daily basis as her claims have failed to stand up to scrutiny shows what this is really about. This is a nakedly political stunt with no substance ahead of the May elections.Any comparison with Boris Johnson is absurd. When parliament referred that matter to the privileges committee, a police investigation had directly disproved his categoric statements that he knew nothing about the breach of lockdown rules.I suppose our constituents might ask [if a privileges committee goes ahead], have we got the balance right between holding the government to account and seemingly squabbling amongst ourselves when there is so much else going on that perhaps parliament ought to be focusing on as well.I have to say, a really truthful position is, why the rush at the moment? Has it got anything to do with local elections? Continue reading...

US justice department blocking Met police investigation into Mandelson, reports say – UK politics live

The department of justice has refused to hand over key evidence from the Jeffrey Epstein files and could delay Scotland Yard’s criminal inquiry.Back in the Lords, Conservative former deputy prime minister Therese Coffey said she thought some MPs and peers were more interested in passing an unsafe assisted dying bill than introducing proper safeguards.Representing the view of opponents of assisted dying, Coffey said: “The continuing claim that this bill is the safest in the world, and was largely good to go in the house, perhaps with a few tweaks, just does not hold true.” Continue reading...
