And I would say very respectfully to the Prime Minister, it's not about you, it is about the victims. Be a leader, not a lawyer. We know that people were scared to tell the truth because they thought they would be called racist. If we want to stop this from ever happening again, we cannot be afraid. The Labour Party has adopted the APPG definition of Islamophobia.
That same APPG report said talking about sex groomers was an example of Islamophobia. This is exactly why people are scared to tell the truth.
That was British Conservative leader Kimmy Badenoch calling out British Prime Minister Keir Starmer over his handling of the so-called grooming gangs scandal.
The scandal has been highlighted in recent days by Elon Musk, who has suggested that various British officials, including the prime minister, are complicit in the cover-up. The extent and severity of the scandal, many say, should result in resignations and criminal charges against those who enabled it.
In this episode, we sit down with an expert from the London-based Legatum Institute to discuss the UK's grooming gang scandal and what action must be taken now to address it. I'm Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief John Bickley with Georgia Howe. It's Saturday, January 11th, and this is a weekend edition of Morning Wire.
