A motion by the UK’s opposition Conservative Party to have a national inquiry into the "grooming gangs" scandal was met with utter rejection by the Keir Starmer government, leading to a political whirlpool in the house of commons in Britain.

In recent days, Tesla and X owner Elon Musk has posted a series of attacks on the UK Prime Minister, accusing him of being "complicit in the crimes" of child sex offenders while calling for a national investigation into child sexual abuse.

The Prime Minister has hit back, accusing Musk and others of "spreading lies and misinformation" and condemning the businessman for crossing a line when he referred to Safeguarding minister Jess Phillips as a "rape genocide apologist."

Join us as we decode the roots of the scandal, the politics involved, and why it has suddenly blown up.
