Musk Rattles Starmer and His Useless Government

When X was called Twitter and was industriously churning out thousands of insults directed at Donald Trump every day for years, nobody in the British government, least of all Keir Starmer, ever uttered a word about it.

Now that Musk has directed his fire at the abomination of the Muslim rape gangs that operated with near-complete immunity from the attentions of the police on Starmer’s watch, he has been labeled a “threat to democracy” and that he “knows nothing about Britain.”

It was only a few months ago that Starmer sent a cohort of Labour party activists to the US in order to campaign for Kamala Harris in order to thwart Donald Trump’s bid for the White House. How Starmer and the Labour party is whining about “what someone in America has got to say about something they know little about here in the UK”!

It looks like the entire Labour party is closing ranks in order to defend the prime minister and deflect any criticisms of what has been going on for the last 23 years at the opposition party — all while attempting to keep their shameful failures well away from public scrutiny.

Ministers tell Elon Musk to get off social media as they hint at X boycott over Starmer grooming gangs attacks – while MPs demand US ambassador is summoned over threats to overthrow the UK government

Ministers urged Elon Musk to get off social media today as brutal clashes with Keir Starmer escalated.

The PM’s Cabinet allies said the American billionaire needs an online ‘detox’, and even hinted at a boycott of his X social media site.

Meanwhile, the spat over Sir Keir’s handling of grooming gangs is at risk of widening after Mr Musk asked followers whether the US should ‘liberate’ Britain from its ‘tyrannical government’.

The Lib Dems have called for Washington’s ambassador to be summoned to explain why one of Donald Trump’s closest allies is mooting the overthrow of the British government.

Mr Musk also posted on X, which he owns, suggesting that safeguarding minister Jess Phillips ‘deserves to be in prison’ for denying requests for the Home Office to lead a public inquiry into child sexual exploitation in Oldham and called her a ‘rape genocide apologist’.

Sir Keir mounted a robust defence as he took questions after laying out NHS waiting list plans this morning.

He said ‘child sexual exploitation is utterly sickening’ and victims had been ‘let down’ – but insisted he had tackled the issues ‘head on’ as director of public prosecutions.

The premier accused opposition politicians of ‘amplifying what the far-Right is saying’ after falling to act ‘for 14 long years’.

He insisted he would fight the ‘poison’ from extremists, arguing that those who are ‘spreading lies and misinformation… are not interested in victims, they are interested in themselves’.

Sir Keir said he was making a ‘general point’ and did not want to ‘individualise’ the row to Mr Musk. He suggested that until recently the Tories would have ‘called out’ attacks on Home Office minister Jess Phillips, saying a ‘line had been crossed’ and she had suffered threats.

But Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch complained that the PM was using ‘smear tactics’, swiping that he should be ‘soul-searching’ about how such a scandal came about.

The Tories will attempt to amend the Children’s Wellbeing Bill on Wednesday to require a full national inquiry into grooming gangs.
