The dragged kicking and screaming into existence national inquiry into the Pakistani Rape Gangs hasn't heard a single witness. It hasn't held a single hearing. No need. The government has already broken its first promise. The official GOV.UK record stated: "The chair will consult on the draft terms of reference and will provide more information in January." January has passed. What the public got was an announcement that the actual information would come in February. That's not what was promised. The promise was information in January. What victims got was a statement about how the inquiry was "carefully developing" its approach and would share details "in early February 2026." That's a lie by another name. The January update gave nothing. No dates for consultation. No process for how victims could participate. No draft terms of reference. Just corporate language about "safe, accessible, and meaningful ways" and assurances that something would happen later. They promised information. They delivered a press release explaining why there was no information yet. And no one has called them out. This is deliberate. Governments don't accidentally miss deadlines they set themselves just weeks earlier. They miss them because they decided to. The promise was made in December to look serious. By January it had been quietly abandoned. Victims were told to trust this inquiry. The first commitment made to them has already been broken. The inquiry was compromised before it started through appointing a Labour Party peer as chair. What has followed should not surprise anyone. They lied. They know they lied. And they're betting, just as with their cover up of the gang rape of the nation's children, no one will notice. _________ I’m Raja Miah MBE.
