That you have such a young child should make you all the more determined to see that those people who want to harm such young children by abusing them sexually, should feel the full force of the law.... whether they be postman or politician, plasterer or policeman.
Position or social status should be immaterial in the justice system......and transparency when dealing with those who transgress is paramount.

If you assume good in people, you'd probably have said/thought, "he's busy and he has a family, he probably had to go, never mind. At least he came on." and you'd have been correct.
I don't need to have a daughter to know what's right and wrong.
What we are discussing is the process by which things moved on and the conclusion that was arrived at.
I supported an inquiry, we've ended up in the right place.
As I said to colleagues privately around Westminster at the beginning AND AT THE FULL MEETING OF THE WHOLE OF THE PARLIAMENTARY LABOUR PARTY, my very first words. - we need a sensible process that is focused on the victims but which does not compromise a police investigation.
If that isnt speaking out to influence proceedings I don't know what is?
If you believe in good in people you're probably a lot nearer to the truth on most occasions.
