Labour MPs defeated a Tory call for a new national inquiry into grooming gangs in a vote in the House of Commons. The amendment, fronted by Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch , sought to establish a 'national statutory inquiry into historical child sexual exploitation, focused on grooming gangs '.

The vote came amid a fierce political debate surrounding the issue, with pressure mounting on Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer from both opposition MPs and billionaire Elon Musk.
