US EditionNigel Farage facing calls to apologise to female survivors of grooming gangs
Five women on the government's grooming gangs inquiry panel demand Nigel Farage apologize after he questioned their experiences as grooming gang victims and misrepresented their abuse.
- On Monday, Nigel Farage, Reform UK leader, spoke at a London press conference with Ellie-Ann Reynolds, prompting five women on the government grooming gangs inquiry panel to demand an apology.

- The five women, survivors on the inquiry panel, told The Guardian it is `categorically untrue` they were not grooming gang victims and called Farage's remarks humiliating and dismissive.
- In a letter to Keir Starmer last week, the women said they would remain on the government's grooming gangs inquiry panel only if safeguarding minister Jess Phillips stayed in post and all relevant evidence was heard.
- The debate centres on the government widening the inquiry beyond Pakistani grooming gangs, exposing divisions as survivor groups described as two distinct cohorts emerge.
