MARGARET HODGE was told that families were falsely being accused of abuse and losing their children but did nothing.

When she was leader of Islington Council, she refused to help sexually abused adolescents.

Recently, she said she's learned a lot since then. Unfortunately that's the ability to cling to a powerful job despite being duplicitous, dangerous and a liar.
