At a press conference today, British PM Keir Starmer is asked if he rejects a national investigation into Pakistani r—pe gangs of white girls because some of it occurred when he was Director of Public Prosecution. Starmer says he stands by his record.

Elon Musk‘s tirade against the British government has been met with a robust response from UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
During a press conference in the past half hour, Starmer said the X chief and others’ recent obsession with last decade’s child grooming gangs saga is nothing but “whipping up of intimidation and threats of violence, hoping the media will amplify it.”
Musk has been spreading conspiracies across the weekend on his social media platform including labeling one of Starmer’s ministers, Jess Phillips, a “rape genocide apologist.” In a series of posts on X, he then called for Starmer to face jail time over how child grooming gangs were dealt with when Starmer was Director of Public Prosecutions last decade and posted a yes-no poll with the statement: “America should liberate the people of Britain from their tyrannical government.”
“I’m prepared to call this out for what it is,” said Starmer, who has been under some pressure to respond. ”Those that are spreading lies and misinformation as far and as wide as possible — they’re not interested in victims, they’re interested in themselves.”
