Wigan Council has voted for a national inquiry into the grooming gangs scandal, breaking with the Labour government’s position. The local authority, which is Labour-led, unanimously voted through a motion requesting that “a full national enquiry is undertaken into the grooming gangs.” The motion said that the abuse had “destroyed the lives of tens of thousands of teenage girls,” adding that an inquiry would “provide justice for the young girls who have suffered and identify preventative measures moving forward.” GB News' Charlie Peters reports.
