A commentary piece argues that Andy Burnham had an opportunity to provide a platform for victims of grooming-gang abuse and that this chance was not fully used.

The piece emphasizes the impact on children and suggests that victims’ voices should be central to public discussion of grooming-gang cases. Overall, the content reflects a viewpoint rather than reporting additional facts, and it is presented as critique of how Burnham’s actions and public messaging relate to victim advocacy and justice.
