Quite disgusting really.

I think an inquiry might be the wise thing to do to help people avoid a sense of a cover-up and just politically.
But realistically I am not sure what would be different from the one they had in 2022 which also looked into exploitation of children by criminal networks. It wasn't especially about Rochdale because a separate inquiry was had into that.
As has been pointed out it might be better if Labour implemented all its recommendations. The previous government, who also rejected the called-for inquiry, didn't implement any of them despite how angry they are now:

Those were specifically about children exploited by gangs, there are more recommendations in the main report.
Again I am not against a new one if there is a remit that was not covered by the above but those calling for it should tell us what that remit is.
