The Mirror: Tories humiliated after grooming gangs 'opportunism' fails - how your MP voted
Kemi Badenoch's attempt to amend the Government's Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill to initiate a national inquiry into grooming gangs was overwhelmingly rejected by Parliament, with 364 MPs voting against it. Critics, including PM Rishi Sunak and Labour leader Keir Starmer, accused her of politicizing the issue and delaying vital child protection legislation.
Badenoch faced backlash for not having met any survivors of grooming gangs, despite advocating for an inquiry. Labour accused the Tories of exploiting the scandal for fundraising, labeling it as a "breathtaking disrespect" to victims. The debate highlights ongoing tensions over child protection policies and political accountability.

Breitbart: Donald Trump Files Emergency Petition to Block Sentencing in Business Records Case
President-elect Donald Trump has filed an emergency petition with the Supreme Court to block his upcoming sentencing in a case involving falsified business records.

Trump's lawyers contend that the New York court lacks authority to proceed with sentencing while his appeal is pending. They assert that the evidence used against him was improperly admitted and that the prosecution is flawed. A response from New York is expected soon.

The case involving Hadi Abuatelah, a 17-year-old Arab Muslim, has unraveled after police encountered him with drugs and a loaded gun.

Breitbart: Los Zetas Commanders Receive Sentenced for Migrant Massacres in Mexican Border State

Belichick's contract includes a $10 million buyout if he leaves before June 1, 2025, which is manageable for NFL teams. While the Raiders could be an appealing option for Belichick, they lack a franchise quarterback and high draft picks, making the decision more complex.
