Theresa May’s historical child sex abuse inquiry was plunged into crisis last night as victims told her they were abandoning their support for it.

Twenty-three individuals, including some who have suffered alleged abuse, wrote a letter to the home secretary saying that the inquiry was “not fit for purpose”.

The letter is a further damaging blow to the inquiry which has already been hit by the resignation of two women appointed by Mrs May to lead an investigation expected to last three years.
