British lawmakers rejected a national inquiry into widespread child sexual abuse, despite significant public pressure and international attention.
The vote against the inquiry followed objections about the amendment's procedural handling within the House of Commons.
Prime Minister Starmer argued against the inquiry, prioritizing a separate bill focused on child protection and well-being.
Opposition leader Badenoch and Elon Musk strongly advocated for a national inquiry, highlighting systemic failures and the scale of the abuse.
