During Wednesday’s instalment of GB News’ breakfast show, Eamonn Holmes issued an enraged rant about UK prime minister Keir Starmer over the handling of the grooming gangs inquiry. The broadcaster was joined by co-host Penny Smith and reporter Charlie Peters when he tore apart the Labour government and criticised the politicisation of the issue, as he claimed the people affected were “being ignored.”
Eamonn’s furious remarks come after it was revealed that three survivors of the grooming gangs have resigned from the liaison panel after concerns about how the inquiry was being handled. Addressing this fresh scandal, the presenter stated: “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.”

In his rant, Eamonn fumed: “Make it simple. It doesn’t have to be as complicated as they’re making it.”
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.”
The reporter explained: “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.”

This further enraged the 65-year-old, who 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.
Additionally, Fiona Goddard 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.”
