Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has announced there will be a national inquiry into grooming gangs, a policy Keir Starmer<\/a> now supports – even though he said in January that Conservative MPs supporting an inquiry were “jumping on the bandwagon of the far-Right”.<\/p>\n

But Sir Keir refused to apologise today. Asked if he should say sorry, he told our reporter in Canada: “Grooming is a vile offense, absolutely vile. And I brought the first prosecution when I was chief prosecutor, really 15 years ago now. So I’ve seen the impact directly on victims.<\/p>\n

“There have been a number of inquiries with very many recommendations. I took the view that we should implement those recommendations because they’ve been sitting on a shelf.<\/p>\n

“Vitally important we do for things like mandatory reporting that we’ve already brought into place. But as a safeguard, I asked Louise Casey to look again to an audit to see if there’s anything that had been missed.<\/p>\n

“She’s carried out that audit. She’s presented that to me. I’ve read it in full, and on the basis of what she’s found, she says there should be a National Inquiry.<\/p>\n

“I’ve looked at her report, I’ve considered that material. I think she’s right, and that’s why it’ll be a National Inquiry. It’ll be a statutory inquiry. It’ll go wherever it needs to go.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has announced there will be a national inquiry into grooming gangs, a policy Keir…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":189789,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[77790,77791,32954,77789,807,12,26],"class_list":{"0":"post-189788","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-world","8":"tag-g7-2025","9":"tag-g7-meeting","10":"tag-g7-summit","11":"tag-g7-summit-2025","12":"tag-keir-starmer","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-world"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114694780613665220","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189788","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=189788"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189788\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/189789"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=189788"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=189788"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=189788"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
