Political Storm: Scotlands Justice Secretary Faces Calls for Resignation Over Grooming Gangs Inquiry ControversyThe Scottish Justice Secretary, Angela Constance, is under intense scrutiny following allegations of misleading Parliament about a grooming gangs inquiry. Opposition parties, including the Scottish Conservatives and Labour, are demanding her removal due to claims she misrepresented child abuse expert Professor Alexis Jays views on further inquiries into child sexual exploitation. The controversy centers on Ms. Constances statements about Professor Jays stance on additional investigations, which contradict recently published emails from the professor herself. Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar has even lodged a motion of no confidence in Ms. Constance, while the Conservatives argue she has broken the ministerial code. Despite mounting political pressure, First Minister John Swinney has remained loyal to his team, but the situation remains uncertain.
