The previous Bassetlaw MP, John Mann, gave evidence on behalf of more than 30 people in Bassetlaw to the Professor Jay inquiry – he and one other did this.
In Bassetlaw, I sat and listened to victims of child abuse.
This is a crisis in all communities. The idea that one kind of child abuse should have priority in government is obscene and dangerous.
And anyone who does not understand should read the ISCAA Report. There is a lot of unfinished business – and this is not just about legislation.
This was in our area – in white, rural England. Child abuse is in every corner of our country.
I am not prepared to wait 3 to 4 more years for action and neither should the victims or the survivors be expected to wait any longer.
I received a message from a survivor of child sexual abuse who said 'victims of abuse just want to be believed, to see justice served and to hold those people who knew and didn't help accountable. Not another multimillion pound inquiry that points out the obvious.'
Shafaz Khan and Choudhry Rashied have been sentenced to over 10 years combined in prison after attempting to smuggle migrants into the UK illegally, concealing them behind tyres with no access to clean air.
Those who illegally smuggle migrants into the country will face justice.

Very pleased that flood warnings have been lifted for Worksop and the Retford Beck, with no flooding to property. I want to thank the Environment Agency for their hard work over the last few days as they battled overnight in freezing temperatures to keep the rising water at bay.
I have been in close contact with the Environment Agency over the last few days and that will continue.
The flood alert for the River Idle is still in place, with roads and low-lying farmland most at risk, however water levels will remain high for the next few days.
