    Ep. 6 - Tragedy Is Weaponised

    CONTENT WARNING: This episode talks about child sexual exploitation, political misuse of survivor trauma, and references to grooming gangs. Listener discretion is advised. When tragedy strikes, the Conservatives don't offer care - they reach for a culture war. In this episode, I break down how Kemi Badenoch is twisting a vote on child safeguarding into a weaponised lie about grooming gangs. This is about more than one amendment - it's about how grief gets politicised, truth gets lost, and survivors get used as props. Written, created and produced by Jamie Strudwick.
