New Grooming Gangs Inquiry Calls: A Political Gamble or a Legitimate Concern?
New Grooming Gangs Inquiry Calls: A Political Gamble or a Legitimate Concern?
Tory leader Kemi Badenoch's call for a new inquiry into sexual grooming gangs has sparked debate and controversy.** Some say it's a political gamble, while others believe there's a real case for reopening an inquiry due to public concern. The move comes after Andy Burnham, Labour's mayor of Greater Manchester, called for a 'limited' national inquiry into grooming gangs.
