Susan Hall made it clear that she was specifically referring to rape gangs, emphasizing a need for clarity regarding the difference between grooming for drugs versus sexual exploitation.

Keir Starmer's announcement of a review into grooming gangs marks his second positional pivot this week, reflecting the pressures faced by the government amidst public concern.

Kemi Badenoch warned the Prime Minister that if he continues to block a public inquiry into the grooming gangs scandal then "people will start to worry about a cover up." She emphasized the need for a national investigation to end this "culture of cover ups" across British institutions, highlighting past engagements where Starmer had previously called for inquiries but now resists them. This contradiction raises concerns about transparency and accountability moving forward.
