Starmer hits back at Musk lies defends record on child abuse Channel 4 News [Video]

Starmer’s speech was supposed to be all about his plans to cut NHS waiting lists. Instead the Prime Minister was forced to defend himself after a week of increasingly rabid online attacks by Elon Musk.

Sir Keir Starmer hit back, saying those spreading “lies and misinformation” are only interested in themselves, not the victims.

He also accused the Conservatives of jumping on a “far right” bandwagon in calling for a new public inquiry into grooming gangs. But it hasn’t stopped the onslaught.

The world’s richest man responded by branding him “utterly despicable”.
