Reform UK has vowed to jail grooming gang child rapists for life as part of a crackdown if the outfit wins the next general election. Zia Yusuf, Reform's Head of Policy, said it was shameful that it wasn't already the law for mandatory minimum life sentences for those who rape children.
Announcing the plan on social media, Mr Yusuf said: "For too long, Conservative and Labour governments have failed to protect our children. The Tory record is disgraceful. By the time they left office, 500,000 children were being sexually abused annually in the UK, according to the Centre of Expertise on Child Sexual Abuse.
