Grooming Gangs Inquiry in Turmoil: PM Backs Minister Jess Phillips Amid Calls for Resignation

The ongoing inquiry into grooming gangs in the UK is facing significant turmoil as Prime Minister expresses full confidence in Minister Jess Phillips, despite rising tensions and calls for her resignation from some survivors. Five survivors have threatened to leave the inquiry panel unless she remains in her position, while others have voiced concerns about the direction and leadership of the inquiry. Controversy has erupted in Parliament, with accusations of political point-scoring and cover-ups surrounding the handling of the inquiry. As the inquiry struggles to find a suitable chair amidst mistrust and infighting, key figures like Louise Casey have been brought in to restore order. The inquiry will need to address the divided opinions among survivors to maintain its credibility and relevance.
