Speaking at a party event in southeast England, Nigel Farage tells the audience that his party, Reform UK, is willing to raise funds for a new public inquiry into grooming gangs, in response to Britain's Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer's rejection of calls for a new national inquiry into sex offences dating back decades against children in northern England.
