Former Prime Minister Liz Truss has sent a legal "cease and desist" letter to Sir Keir Starmer demanding he stop saying she "crashed the economy". Her lawyers argue the claim made repeatedly by Sir Keir is "false and defamatory" and harmed her politically in the run-up to losing her South West Norfolk seat in the general election.

The row between Kemi Badenoch, Keir Starmer, Elon Musk, and others, centres around a series of high-profile cases where groups of men - mainly of Pakistani descent - were convicted of sexually abusing and raping predominantly young white girls around the UK.

Keir Starmer has slapped down Andy Burnham after he broke ranks with the prime minister to call for a national inquiry into the grooming gangs scandal. The prime minister has insisted that the government’s priority should be to implement the recommendations from Professor Alexis Jay’s own inquiry into child sexual abuse,

Tory leader Kemi Badenoch will today ramp up demands for a public probe into the child grooming scandal to end the "culture of cover ups" in British institutions.
