Why is Labour rejecting a national grooming gangs inquiry?

Is it any wonder this went on so long?

Last week, I wrote that Labour, during half a year in office, has launched a staggering 67 reviews and consultations, as well as “a new quango every week since coming to power”.

But it seems there is such a thing as an inquiry too far. Yesterday, it was reported that Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips had formally rejected repeated requests for a Home Office-led inquiry into Oldham’s historic rape gangs scandal, following a request by the local council. X owner Elon Musk then called for Phillips to be jailed as a result.
