A Labour MP who experienced grooming as a teenager has launched a fierce defence of Jess Phillips after Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch branded her "the worst safeguarding minister we have ever had".

Natalie Fleet expressed fury at Badenoch's criticism, revealing that Phillips had been instrumental in helping her overcome her traumatic past and enter Parliament.

Last July shortly after being elected, Fleet revealed that she became pregnant at the age of 15 after being groomed and raped by an older man.

Labour's Natalie Fleet told GB News she has "weekly nightmares" about what she said happened to her 23 years ago.
