Calls for woman who led Rotherham CSE inquiry to be replaced in new role
The Labour MP, Chuka Umunna, has called for the chair of the Child Sexual Abuse inquiry, Professor Alexis Jay, to be replaced.
Mr Umunna was speaking after the Shirley Oaks Survivors group - which represents 600 people who lived in children's homes in south London - withdrew from the inquiry, calling it "a circus".
Alexis Jay's report into child sexual exploitation in Rotherham found at least 1,400 youngsters were abused in the town between 1997 and 2013.

Claire Renwick
BBC Radio Sheffield

The services include adult social care, economic growth, town centre management, waste collection, community safety, grounds maintenance and audit.

We have achieved significant improvements across the board, but we are clear there remains more to do be done, and we are determined to complete the work that we have started.”
However, the commissioners will retain control over children's services because there's more work to be done there.
The council got control back over some services in February this year, after it was stripped of its powers following the child sexual exploitation scandal in 2014.
Remember the old Army polish factory in Sheffield?
Oli Constable
If so, then the people who own the building in Neepsend would like to hear from you.
Albyn Works was built in 1875 and produced Blanco polish, which was used to weatherproof Army clothing and whiten tennis shoes.
It closed in the 1960s and became derelict, but is now home to around 25 companies.
Sheffield pub regulars are well on the way to buying their local after pledging more than £160,000.
The impressive amount has been promised in a little over a month by drinkers at the Gardeners Rest, Neepsend, who decided to try to buy the pub after landlord and lady Eddie Munelly and Pat Wilson decided to retire and sell up.
