Sir Keir Starmer will have "questions to answer" about the Crown Prosecution Service's failures over the grooming gangs scandal when he was the Director of Public Prosecutions, a shadow Cabinet minister has said.

Chris Philp, the shadow Home Secretary, said Starmer might be nervous over what an inquiry might uncover because that CPS had "early on" made some mistakes over prosecuting alleged perpetrators.

Starmer was in charge of the CPS as the chief prosecutor in England and Wales between 2008 and 2014 during a period when failures by the CPS over the grooming gangs scandal were highlighted in previous reports.

A Government review to draw up a definition of Islamophobia will not result in a blasphemy law "by the back door", the chairman of the review has insisted.

Angela Rayner, the Deputy Prime Minister, set up a five-person working group, chaired by the former Tory attorney general Dominic Grieve to introduce a formal definition of Islamophobia to combat anti-Muslim hatred.

In opposition, Labour said it would adopt a controversial definition of Islamophobia which was drawn up in 2018 by all-party parliamentary group which critics say is so widely drawn that it would act as a de facto blasphemy law and stifle criticism of Islam.

In his first interview since being appointed in February Grieve told GB News' Chopper's Political Podcast, that his review - which he said will report in the Autumn - and it would not lead to restrictions on freedom of speech.

Jonathan Hinder, Labour MP for Pendle and Clitheroe, told GB News' Chopper's Political Podcast: "We need a national reckoning on this. And I would say that we should be seriously thinking about whether a national inquiry is required."

Hinder - a member of the 'blue Labour' group of MPs - said that the audit of the scandal by Baroness Casey would inform next steps.

Nigel Farage's 'Doge unit' which has been charged with exposing waste in Reform UK's councils will expose "the biggest national scandal we've seen in a decade", one of its key figures says.

Arron Banks - who was dubbed one of the "bad boys of Brexit" after he helped to fund one Nigel Farage's Brexit campaign at the 2016 European Union referendum - is helping to head up the unit as it seeks to show voters that Reform UK is focused on getting a better result for taxpayers.

Banks said the findings would be bigger than the Daily Telegraph's uncovering of widescale abuses of the MPs' expenses system which led to dozens of MPs quitting, others being imprisoned and the historic resignation of the Commons speaker in 2009.

The Crown Prosecution Service has been accused of pursuing a "political" prosecution by former Conservative politician Bob Stewart who was found guilty over racist comments, and then won on appeal.

The legal battle was triggered when Stewart - at the time the MP for Beckenham in south-east London - told an activist to “go back to Bahrain” during a confrontation in central London.

Stewart told Sayed Ahmed Alwadaei “you’re taking money off my country, go away” during an argument outside the Foreign Office’s Lancaster House in Westminster.

Stewart, a former British Army officer and United Nations commander in Bosnia who was MP for Beckenham from 2010 to 2024, was then found guilty in November 2023 for a racially aggravated public order offence.
