Badenoch accuses Labour of grooming gang inquiry U-turn
Kemi Badenoch has accused Labour of dropping plans for five local grooming gang inquiries promised in January.
The Conservative leader called for a full national inquiry and suggested a âcover-upâ, claiming Labour's refusal to act shows dishonesty and a failure to deliver justice.
She pledged to force another vote, warning the public would âsee who is on their sideâ.
