Jess Phillips 'doomed' as GB News star says 'gone in 48 hours'

GB News anchor Andrew Pierce unearthed a troubling sign Jess Phillips could soon be sacked as safeguarding minister in a huge blow to the "doomed" politician. Announcing the latest bombshell as the national inquiry into grooming gangs goes on, Pierce said: "The government's national inquiry into the grooming gang scandal has suffered another blow today after a fifth survivor quit the panel.

"Four other survivors who resigned earlier this week as advisors to the inquiry issued a statement calling for the safeguarding minister, Jess Phillips, to step down. They accused her of betraying victims by widening the scope of the investigations. Phillips offered an emotional defence of herself in the Commons."

When a clip was played back of Phillips "losing it" in the House of Commons, Pierce warned her: "Tone, minister, tone. It's all about tone.

"Yesterday the prime minister rejected calls for her resignation, instead throwing his full support behind his embattled minister."

Keir Starmer insisted: "The safeguarding minister, I think, has probably more experience than any other person in this house in dealing with violence against women and girls."

But Pierce went on to deliver the damning conclusion: "I'd like to remind you of course that's the same prime minister who defended Angela Rayner from the dispatch box and she was gone 48 hours later, defended Peter Mandelson as ambassador to Washington from the same dispatch box - he was gone 24 hours later."

Viewers were quick to react to the news, with one tweeting: "Let's hope she is gone in 48 hours!"

"Hopefully history will repeat itself and she'll be gone soon," somebody else said.
