Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer announced the inquiry in June this year. The UK government said it would "co-ordinate a series of targeted local investigations" into the group-based child sexual exploitation of girls by grooming gangs. Called the Independent Commission on Grooming Gangs, the inquiry will have legal powers to direct targeted investigations in local areas and summon witnesses to give evidence.
I thought whoever did that inadvertently was giving ammunition to the English Defence League that were every week, in and out, campaigning and doing their stuff in that town.
"Starmer's recent U-turn on the grooming gangs inquiry reflects not only a significant shift in his stance but also a reaction to pressure from external figures."
