Labour Party blocks vote on public inquiry into abuses by Pakistani men against white British girls
The left-wing Labour Party blocked a vote for a public inquiry into abuses by mostly Muslim Pakistani men against white British girls. Critics accuse Labour of moral cowardice, while the Prime Minister argues for implementing previous recommendations instead of a new investigation. Campaigners highlight failures in previous reports and call for more thorough investigations. Both Labour and Conservatives face accusations of cover-ups in handling the issue.
