Grooming gangs inquiry: Susan Hall skews Sadiq Khan as she demands London investigation

On 28 January 2026, former MP and activist Susan Hall opened a salvo against London’s Mayor, Sir Sadiq Khan, during a session of the national grooming‑gangs inquiry. Hall, known for her vocal stance on child‑protection issues, warned that “we can’t keep letting this go” and demanded that the inquiry establish a separate investigation into alleged grooming‑gang activity in Greater London. She cited repeated questions she asked Khan in 2025, when he denied that such gangs were operating in the capital. Hall’s comments have reignited debate in Westminster over policing resources and the scope of the government‑led inquiry, which began in 2023 and has examined 200+ alleged grooming‑gang cases across England. The mayor has pledged to cooperate while calling the new demands “unsubstantiated”.
