Sir Keir Starmer came face to face with Kemi Badenoch for the first time following a row over grooming gangs which has resulted in a blizzard of attacks on the UK government by Elon Musk.
Keir Starmer is facing fresh pressure to call a new inquiry into grooming gangs from within Labour ranks today as another MP said a fresh probe was needed.
Sarah Champion, whose Rotherham constituency suffered one of the worst scandals, said that a new national investigation was required, saying the public 'distrust' politicians. 'It is clear that the public distrusts governments and authorities when it comes to preventing and prosecuting child abuse, especially child sexual exploitation.'
The Conservatives used an attempt to block the Government's Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill on Wednesday to force a vote on calls for a new inquiry. And new Rochdale MP Paul Waugh has said he also supports a new inquiry 'with caveats'. His seat was blighted with some of the worst offending.
