Farage: Reform will hold grooming inquiry if Labour don’t

The focus on Britain’s grooming gang scandal is very much here to stay. Calls for the government to hold a national inquiry into the matter are intensifying and the Labour government is coming under increasing pressure from opposition politicians in the wake of Elon Musk’s rather heated social media posts on the issue.

Victims Minister Alex Davies-Jones was sent out by Labour on the morning round today, with the MP was quizzed on multiple programmes about the need for another probe. On Sky News, host Wilfred Frost asked Davies-Jones about the Conservative party’s attempts to force a vote on whether there should be a full national inquiry into the sex abuse scandal – and whether she would back it. ‘I won’t vote for it,’ the Victims Minister replied, going on:

We’ve already had a national inquiry into child sexual exploitation and abuse. The Professor Alexis Jay inquiry conducted extensive investigation, over 7,000 brave victims and survivors gave their testimony to that.
