Grooming gangs: Why has a public inquiry been announced now?
Yvette Cooper has revealed the findings of a review into child sex abuse by grooming gangs to MPs.
The home secretary said Baroness Louise Casey’s review into child sex abuse by grooming gangs found suspects were often "disproportionately likely" to be Asian men.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer commissioned Baroness Casey to carry out an audit into the nature and scale of child sexual abuse in January, following months of pressure from his political opponents, and even tech billionaire Elon Musk.

Macron has issued a stark warning about a “war without end” in Gaza, urging UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to take a bold diplomatic step by officially recognising the State of Palestine. Speaking amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, Macron called for a renewed international push toward a two-state solution, warning that without political resolution, the region risks spiraling into permanent instability.

Chris Philp says police and councils “deliberately covered up” grooming gang crimes, putting “race relations” ahead of protecting vulnerable girls. The shadow home secretary also claims the prime minister only announced the national inquiry after being “dragged kicking and screaming” by Baroness Casey’s report into child sexual exploitation.

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper says the decision to proscribe Palestine Action as a terrorist group is about protecting national security, rather than preventing the "lawful right to protest".

The home secretary says the government inherited a "broken" immigration system in which there was an increase of visas being issued without "proper checks and systems in place". Yvette Cooper's comments come after a cross-party committee of MPs said the Home Office had failed to check whether foreign workers were leaving the UK or staying to work illegally.

Yvette Cooper says crimes like shoplifting have "gone up far too high in recent years" and that they "haven't been taken seriously enough". The home secretary has announced that hundreds of towns will see an increased police presence to crack down on theft and anti-social behaviour. Report by Brooksl.

Peanut the Squirrel was thrust back into the headlines after Elon Musk invoked the little guy amid his X rants over the recent lackluster Epstein news ... a.. TMZ.com
A diplomatic showdown has erupted between India and Elon Musk-owned platform 'X' (formerly Twitter). 'X' alleged that the Indian government ordered the blocking of over 2,300 accounts—including global outlets like Reuters. India denied the claim, calling it “false and misleading,” and revealed it had demanded restoration, not blocking. X delayed action for 21+ hours. With press freedom now in question and legal remedies suggested without cause, critics ask: Is X deliberately maligning India on the global stage?

Donald Trump lashed out at Elon Musk after the Tesla CEO launched his new “America Party,” calling the move “ridiculous” and branding Musk a “train wreck.” Trump warned Musk’s third-party push would hand Democrats an advantage and undermine GOP unity. Musk fired back, condemning both major parties as corrupt and vowing to shake up Congress in 2026. The clash escalates as Trump celebrates his anti-EV mandate bill and accuses Musk of personal lobbying and political chaos.
