The House of Commons voted on an amendment to hold a statutory inquiry into the scandal – where it was revealed that men of predominantly Pakistani Muslim heritage had sexually abused young British girls for years in towns in northern England.
FOX News The measure was an amendment to a children’s well-being and schools bill backed by the Labour government. U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer warned that a vote in favor of the amendment would kill the overall bill to which it was attached. The amendment was voted down by 364 votes to 111 in the Labour-controlled chamber, Sky News reported.
Previous reports had found evidence of “appalling” abuse, with more than 1,400 girls abused between 1997 and 2013 in Rotherham alone. Reports also found that authorities had been scared of fueling anti-Muslim hatred in their handling of the crimes given the ethnic makeup of the perpetrators. The scandal tapped into brewing concerns about multiculturalism and mass immigration.
Across the country, thousands of girls were tortured and sexually abused at the hands of men who treated them as things to be used and disposed of, destroying many lives forever. The prime minister has mentioned previous inquiries. He is right, there has been an inquiry into child sexual abuse. But it wasn’t about the rape gang scandal.
Elon Musk, who has been hammering away at the issue on X – even calling for the prosecution of top U.K. government officials, including Starmer – appealed again to the British public before the vote.
Starmer had previously slammed “lies and misinformation” without naming Musk directly, and had accused U.K. politicians of jumping on a “bandwagon of the far-right.”

Disgraceful.
Cutting their own throats. It might have been better for England if the Germans won.
Praying Trump and Elon stop this ! hope they understand its happening in the US too .
The Cult members have not even reached critical mass but the UK Parliament has already submitted to the will of the Cult! Tell me friends, is there any difference between the Liberals and the Conservatives there? That these clowns would not want to investigate atrocious acts done against the native children of their own nation! Shame on them. I do not understand this at all, except perhaps that the female dog called Karma has come calling on them for the sins against humanity that their forebears committed in the name fo colonialism.
The limeys get what they voted for.
