In a significant development, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced the launch of a national inquiry into grooming gangs, following intense public demand and the pressure from political figures. Recent reports revealed that grooming gangs sexually abused more than 1,000 children, prompting calls for accountability and reinvestigation of over 800 cases. Labour leader Keir Starmer faced scrutiny for his delayed response but ultimately bowed to pressure and confirmed that the National Crime Agency will be involved in the investigation. This inquiry aims to address long-standing concerns regarding child sexual exploitation and the alleged failure of authorities to protect vulnerable children from these gangs.
