As information continues to come to light is it actually concievable that the government is actively avoiding investigations that might put the government's immigration policies into question? That seems to be the unstated in the article.

Has the case load dramatically increased, as in were there many more offenses? Were resources cut or reallocated? Did the definition of what counts as a sexual offense or reporting calculations change somehow? The article just doesn't say, which is absurdly bad journalism.

I was under the impression that this has been verifiably true for years now.

It’s not bad journalism, it’s modern journalism! It reports data and invites readers like you to confirm your preconceived biases with it, such that it never challenges those beliefs and risks losing you as a reader, nor risks confirming your beliefs and losing other readers. It’s win win all around!

There literally was a national-level inquiry investigated when the Tories were in power and a set of recommendations were put forth as a result of that inquiry. The current Labour govt is actively implementing those recommendations. If there's one thing that's bipartisan, it's this.
