WATCH: Nigel Farage hails GB News reporter Charlie Peters for shining a light on grooming gangs

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage praised GB News National reporter Charlie Peters for bringing renewed attention to the grooming gangs scandal through his investigative work.

"Charlie Peters, who has really reignited this story and is doing, I think, great work for GB News has shown us that he has evidence that these barbarities have taken place in at least 50 towns," Farage stated.

The investigation revealed the scale of these incidents extends far beyond the initial estimates of "6 or 8 northern towns," according to Farage.
