A TOP Labour MP called for the latest head of the child sex abuse inquiry to resign yesterday after a leading victims’ group called it a “botched job”.
Prof Alexis Jay is the fourth to lead the troubled national probe but is facing claims of a whitewash.
Shirley Oaks Survivors Association, representing those abused in Lambeth Council children’s homes in South London, withdrew its co-operation.
Labour’s Chuka Umunna also questioned whether Professor Jay could “command the confidence of the majority of survivors” because of her background in social work and lack of legal knowledge.
The Streatham MP told Radio 4’s programme that survivors were cynical about her because “many perpetrators” came from Professor Jay’s profession.
