Grooming gangs: Why has a public inquiry been announced now?
Yvette Cooper has revealed the findings of a review into child sex abuse by grooming gangs to MPs.
The home secretary said Baroness Louise Casey’s review into child sex abuse by grooming gangs found suspects were often "disproportionately likely" to be Asian men.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer commissioned Baroness Casey to carry out an audit into the nature and scale of child sexual abuse in January, following months of pressure from his political opponents, and even tech billionaire Elon Musk.

Keir Starmer has announced plans to stabilise business rates and allow easier access to loans in a bid to support small businesses. In a speech delivered in Wiltshire on Thursday, the prime minister said 38 businesses are forced to shut every day due to late payments, costing the economy "£11bn per year". Report by Kennedyl.

A shadow minister has said the government's recognition of Palestine as an independent state is unlikely to happen. Keir Starmer said he would recognise the state if Hamas surrendered power. Shadow chancellor of Duchy of Lancaster Alex Burghart said: "Hamas is not about to lay down it's weapons and go quietly into the night. I just think this is nonsense really." Report by Kennedyl.

Police in England and Wales to collect ethnicity data in child sexual abuse cases
The announcement follows a series of recommendations by Baroness Casey made in her audit on 'grooming gangs', which found that Asian men were overrepresented in three local areas – but more data was needed to gain a national picture.

Chris Philp says police and councils “deliberately covered up” grooming gang crimes, putting “race relations” ahead of protecting vulnerable girls. The shadow home secretary also claims the prime minister only announced the national inquiry after being “dragged kicking and screaming” by Baroness Casey’s report into child sexual exploitation.

The government has announced a public inquiry into the Battle of Orgreave - one of the worst days of violence during the 1984-85 Miners’ Strike. Campaigners have long fought for an investigation into South Yorkshire Police’s actions during and after the clashes at the Orgreave Coking Plant in June 1984. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper says concerns “have been left unanswered for decades, and we must now establish what happened.” Report by Jonesia.

Speaking in the House of Commons, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper insisted the UK-France return deal would “fundamentally undermine” the smugglers organising the crossings.
Under the pilot scheme, for each small boat migrant sent back across the English Channel, an asylum seeker will be allowed to enter the UK from France under a legal route.

Elon Musk has just announced that his artificial intelligence startup xAI will soon launch a new kid-friendly app named Baby Grok. The app is expected to feature AI-generated content tailored for children, though Musk has yet to reveal specific features. The move comes just days after xAI launched Grok 4, the latest version of its chatbot, which previously sparked outrage for posting antisemitic content on X (formerly Twitter).
Musk’s announcement raises eyebrows across the tech world — is Baby Grok a sincere attempt at safe AI for children, or damage control following the Grok scandal? With xAI pushing boundaries at breakneck speed, and controversy still fresh, Baby Grok already faces scrutiny before its official debut. Musk’s pivot to children’s content could signal a new strategy for the troubled AI platform, as it tries to rebuild trust. But will the world trust Grok — even in its diapered form?

Tesla has officially entered India, launching its first showroom at Mumbai’s BKC with the Model Y on display. Priced at ₹61 lakh on-road, the Model Y marks Tesla’s push into India’s luxury EV space. Initially imported from Berlin, Tesla’s India debut has sparked praise and criticism—Donald Trump slammed the move as “unfair” due to U.S. export tariffs. While Indian officials welcome the launch, local automakers fear disruption. Tesla’s arrival may accelerate EV adoption and reshape India’s electric vehicle policy landscape.

Trump In Epstein Trouble: A major rift has appeared within the MAGA movement as supporters turn on President Donald Trump. The controversy ignited after Trump publicly defended Attorney General Pam Bondi, a move seen by many conservatives as a dismissal of concerns surrounding the recently unsealed Epstein files. This defense has triggered an unprecedented backlash from his own base.
The fallout has been swift and visual. Influential conservative figures have condemned Trump's stance, and viral videos have spread across social media showing die-hard supporters burning their MAGA hats and other merchandise in protest. This public display of disillusionment signals a deep fracture within what was once Trump's most loyal demographic. As Trump scrambles to control the narrative with a 400-word post on Truth Social urging unity, even figures like Elon Musk have taken public jabs at him over the issue.
Sensing a critical moment of weakness, the Democratic party is moving quickly to capitalize on the Republican infighting. Former President Barack Obama is set to return to the political frontline, headlining a major fundraiser in New Jersey this Friday alongside DNC Chair Ken Martin. This event, Obama's first since the 2024 election, is designed to rally the Democratic base and frame the GOP's internal conflict as a major liability ahead of the crucial 2026 midterm elections.
This report from Oneindia News breaks down the timeline of the MAGA backlash, Trump's attempts at damage control, and the strategic moves being made by Barack Obama and the Democrats. Stay tuned for the latest updates on this developing story in US politics.
