The row between Kemi Badenoch, Keir Starmer, Elon Musk, and others, centres around a series of high-profile cases where groups of men - mainly of Pakistani descent - were convicted of sexually abusing and raping predominantly young white girls around the UK.

Tory leader Kemi Badenoch fires at Keir Starmer that blocking a national inquiry into grooming gangs would lead to some people suggesting a "cover up".

Victims want action today, the Prime Minister said, as the Tory leader repeated demands for a national inquiry into rape gangs

In an article for The Telegraph last week, Jenrick said that the over-representation of men from Pakistani heritage in the gangs was the result of “mass migration… importing hundreds of thousands of people from alien cultures, who possess medieval attitudes towards women”.

Labour MPs have blocked Kemi Badenoch's bid to force an independent inquiry into child sexual exploitation by Muslim grooming gangs. Sir Keir Starmer whipped his MPs to vote down the Conservative amendment to the child safety and education Bill, which would have blocked the legislation on the grounds it does not commit to a new probe.

The UK’s opposition Conservative Party tried and failed to force Prime Minister Keir Starmer into holding a national inquiry into a scandal surrounding so-called child grooming gangs.

A Conservative Party amendment calling for a national inquiry on grooming gangs has been rejected in the Commons. The amendment to Labour’s flagship Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill received 111 Ayes and 364 Noes,

MPs have rejected a Conservative bid to push for another national inquiry into grooming gangs by 364 votes to 111. The Government’s draft child protection legislation cleared its first Commons hurdle on Wednesday following a bitter Prime Minister’s Questions in which Tory leader Kemi Badenoch said failing to back a probe would fuel concerns about a “cover-up”.
