Burnham 'looking into' conducting Epstein inquiry, says victims minister
Davies-Jones said Burnham will meet Epstein victims as ministers review a public inquiry into alleged abuse and border failures.
- Prime Minister Andy Burnham is reviewing whether to hold a public inquiry into Jeffrey Epstein's UK activities, with victims minister Alex Davies-Jones confirming he agreed to meet survivors and is evaluating potential government action.
- A February Labour document proposed an "impunity" inquiry into how powerful men avoided accountability, specifically targeting Epstein's use of military bases and alleged behaviour by Mohamed Al-Fayed and West Ham co-owner David Sullivan.
- Survivor Anouska di Georgiou welcomed reports but cautioned "survivors have heard promises before, so what matters now is action, not headlines." Davies-Jones confirmed Burnham agreed to meet victims to discuss systemic changes.
- West Ham co-owner David Sullivan has denied allegations, stating he is "absolutely not the person the media has decided to paint me as," as officials review whether claims against him fall within the inquiry scope.
- Victims minister Alex Davies-Jones resigned in May from former Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's government, accusing officials of treating survivors as a "footnote" before Burnham reappointed her to champion systemic change.
