OPINION - Why Kemi Badenoch's showboating on grooming gangs rings hollow

What unites the right like nothing else? Grooming gangs. And the Conservatives have kicked off 2025 by placing it front and centre. “The time is long overdue for a full national inquiry into the rape gangs scandal…No one in authority has joined the dots. 2025 must be the year that the victims start to get justice.” Kemi Badenoch posted on X yesterday. Everyone from Reform MPs to Elon Musk has echoed this call.
