In this episode of The Winston Marshall Show, I sit down with investigative journalist Zak Garner-Purkis for a shocking exposé on the London grooming gang cover-up that Sadiq Khan denied for years — and the Metropolitan Police’s sudden admission that they are now reviewing 9,000 potential cases of group-based child sexual exploitation across the capital.

Zak explains how his investigation uncovered official reports personally read and signed off by Sadiq Khan containing evidence of grooming gang victims — evidence that was ignored, downplayed, and hidden in plain sight. He reveals how political correctness, bureaucratic definitions, and media cowardice allowed predators to operate with impunity in London while authorities claimed the problem didn’t exist.

We discuss the failures of the Met, the political motivations behind the cover-up, and why survivors have been made invisible by those meant to protect them. Zak also shares his reporting from the French migrant camps, exposing how criminal networks traffic people across the Channel and why Britain’s border crisis and child exploitation scandal are deeply connected — symptoms of a nation unwilling to confront uncomfortable truths.

All this — London’s hidden grooming gangs, Sadiq Khan’s denials, the Met Police’s reversal, and Britain’s moral collapse.
