Labour has pledged to do "everything within our power" to prevent another child facing the same tragic fate as Preston Davey, horrifically killed by his adoptive parents.The 13-month-old died after suffocating on an object lodged in his mouth, bringing an end to an awful period of physical, sexual and psychological abuse by his adoptive father Jamie Varley, a former high school teacher.Varley, 37, was sentenced to life in prison at Preston Crown Court last week for inflicting "unremitting abuse" on baby Preston before a final, fatal, sexual assault took his life.Varley's partner John McGowan-Fazakerley, 32, was also jailed for 25 years for enabling Varley's awful actions, and taking part in the sexual abuse.
