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.

Keir Starmer has slammed Kemi Badenoch for demanding a national inquiry into child grooming gangs despite never mentioning it while she was a minister.

An attempt by the Conservatives to have the government set up a national inquiry into grooming gangs has been voted down by 364 votes to 111 votes, a margin of 253. The amendment was attached to the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill, which would have been killed had the vote passed.

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".

At Prime Minister’s Questions Sir Keir said a further inquiry could delay action on tackling child sexual abuse,

In a shocking move, Sir Keir Starmer whipped his MPs to vote down the Conservative amendment to their child safety and education Bill, which would have blocked the legislation from going forward on the grounds it doesn't include the commitment to a new probe.
