'Nothing EVER gets done!' Eamonn Holmes erupts over Labour’s response to grooming gangs: 'They don't listen'

His comments come after three survivors have resigned from its liaison panel in recent days over concerns about how the process is being handled, while a frontrunner to chair the inquiry has also pulled out.

Discussing the latest resignation on The People's Channel, Eamonn said: "It’s a simple thing. Wrongs have been committed, absolutely atrocious things against these people, and people aren’t seeing them as people.

"They’re not looking and saying, ‘Look at how that girl’s life has been ruined. Who did that?’ And they know who did it, and they’re not doing anything about it. Make it simple. It doesn’t have to be as complicated as they’re making it."

GB News National Reporter Charlie Peters added: "Amid all of this, last night, one woman, Jessica, not her real name, became the fourth member of the panel to quit.

"Jessica was abused before she was even a teenager. She gave video evidence to the police when she was 12. It’s taken 20 years for her to speak to the press.

"And last night, she chose to tell GB News that she was quitting this panel because of the politicisation of the issue.

"The ordinary eyes, the panel, were supposed to bring in people like her, real people who have suffered."

Eamonn fumed: "But that’s exactly what they’re not doing. They say, ‘We’re government to the people, we’re going to bring in real voices,’ but actually, they make you sign secrecy forms and follow procedures that prevent you from being heard. It’s absolutely scandalous.

"And I’ll say it to any politician: the way politics is run in this country, the whole state system is absolutely rubbish.

"Nothing ever gets done, and it’s all politicised. That’s my view."

Fiona Goddard has resigned from the Home Office’s liaison panel, citing a "toxic, fearful environment" and the "condescending and controlling language" reportedly used towards survivors.

Ellie Reynolds also stepped down, saying the "final turning point" came when there was a "push to widen the remit of the national inquiry in ways that downplay the racial and religious motivations behind our abuse."

A third panel member, known only as Elizabeth, quit yesterday afternoon.

The Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has vowed that the door would "always remain open" should any of the former panel members decide to return.

The Home Secretary told GB News that the upcoming "statutory, national inquiry" will focus on the "predatory monsters" in the gangs and "is not, and never will be watered down on my watch".

Ms Mahmood praised The People's Channel for its work exposing the extent of the scandal and said that the inquiry will "explicitly examine the ethnicity and religion of the offenders".

However, she appealed for time to ensure the right person is appointed to chair it, saying: "We have to get this right, and take the time to do so."

Writing for GB News's website, the Home Secretary warned: "Once the inquiry begins, the truth will follow. There will be no hiding place for those who abused the most vulnerable in our society.

"Nor will those who ignored victims, and even covered up what occurred, be shielded from the truth. A moment of reckoning will come."
