Starmer Hits Back at Musk
PM attacks those “spreading lies” on grooming gangs.
Today, we look at Keir Starmer’s response to what he calls “lies and misinformation” being spread over grooming gangs.
It comes after multi-billionaire Elon Musk accused Sir Keir Starmer of being "complicit in the rape of Britain" during his time as director of public prosecutions (DPP) for failing to tackle grooming gangs. Adam and Chris discuss the PM’s response in a press conference on Monday, and reflect on what impact Musk and President-elect Trump are already having on world politics.
Adam and Chris are also joined by Stephen Kinnock, the Care Minister to talk through the government’s plan to tackle hospital backlogs.
