Starmer's time as director of public prosecutions was so successful that Conservative attorney general Dominic Grieve would have reappointed him for a second term, calling him "one of the most successful directors of recent years." Mistakes were certainly made like always, but any attempt to present Starmer's tenure as one that was complicit in child sexual abuse is a cynical and politically motivated attempt to rewrite history.
Shocking relevations that Starmer helped draft and implement "paedophile Asbos" that have let thousands of suspected child sex offenders off with mere warning letters instead of criminal charges is a disgrace that deserves further investigation. These warning letters to suspected child rapists were a catastrophic failure that should prevent Starmer from ever holding public office again.
