Theresa May snubbed sex abuse survivors yesterday and went to Brussels.

The Home Secretary skipped the emotional meeting where victims were demanding that the troubled historical abuse inquiry starts as soon as possible.

Campaigner Peter Saunders said top officials told them it may get a third chairman within weeks. Two have quit over their links to the Establishment.

Five more people have added names to a letter from 24 victims and professionals saying they have lost confidence in the inquiry.

They added their names to a devastating letter warning the Tory Minister the probe was “not fit for purpose”.

Abuse survivors met Mrs May’s officials and are understood to have said the inquiry must start hearing evidence as soon as possible if it is to have any chance of unearthing the truth and having any credibility.
