The United Kingdom’s Labour Party blocked a Conservative Party amendment that would have forced a nationwide inquiry into the decades-long epidemic of migrant grooming gangs.

The Conservatives proposed an amendment to the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill that would compel the government to launch a national investigation into the grooming gangs that have terrorized the nation for decades, according the House of Commons records. The amendment was voted down by 364 to 111, with Labour and Conservatives voting down party lines.

“Bang on from Kemi Badenoch – Starmer’s argument against an inquiry is that government can’t do two things at once – it can’t implement previous actions and have an inquiry at the same time – that’s just obviously nonsense,” Niel O’Brien, Conservative party MP, said on X.

Starmer claims new inquiry will delay action on grooming gangs until 2031

Badenoch says this is not about Starmer. It is about the victims. “Be a leader, not a lawyer.”

She says the Labour party has adopted the APPG definition of Islamophobia. That says talking about grooming gangs can be Islamophobic. So will Labour consider it support for this?

Starmer says he will call out anything stopping people coming forward.
