Kemi Badenoch grilled by GB News on exclusion of Whitehall and Westminster in grooming gangs inquiry

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has been quizzed by GB News reporter Charlie Peters on whether the Tories will table an amendment over the grooming gangs inquiry, blocking the exclusion of Whitehall and Westminster representatives from the investigation.Responding to Charlie, Badenoch told GB News: "My view is that the inquiry needs to go where the evidence leads. If there is evidence that there are institutions, whether they are national or local, have been complicit in a cover up, then that definitely needs to be looked at. "No one should be exonerated. This is a full national inquiry, so I don't believe that any institution should be out of scope. If there is credible evidence pointing to any institution, then that should be looked at. But we know that quite a lot has come out already. This is why we didn't need to wait six months to agree a national inquiry. "Most of what was in Baroness Casey's report, which I welcome, I felt I'd seen before and I knew. And what we need right now is the moral courage to just do the right thing, rather than continually finding reasons to kick stuff into the long grass. And that's what I really want to see."WATCH ABOVE.
