Starmer hits out at politicians who 'shout and scream but do nothing' over grooming gangs

  • Sir Keir Starmer announced a national statutory inquiry into grooming gangs on June 17, 2025, in response to Baroness Casey's report in the UK.
  • Baroness Casey's report detailed a timeline of failures by authorities from 2009 to 2025 and recommended a comprehensive inquiry with powers to compel evidence.
  • The inquiry follows accusations that both Conservative and Labour governments neglected grooming gang issues despite repeated reports, with the Tories not implementing Alexis Jay inquiry recommendations.
  • Starmer said he read every word of the report and demands accountability where wrongdoing is uncovered, while critics highlighted that ministers Kemi Badenoch and Chris Philp never raised grooming during their offices.
  • The inquiry is expected to address ethnic data gaps, ensure victim-focused investigations, and reflect a shift from prior government hesitation toward stronger national action.
