Farage Defends Musk's Criticism of Starmer

Nigel Farage has come to the defense of Elon Musk, who has made controversial comments regarding Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer and MP Jess Phillips, accusing Starmer of failing to prosecute grooming gangs during his tenure as Director of Public Prosecutions. Farage praised Musk for promoting free speech on social media, stating that such tough rhetoric is a normal part of public debate. Meanwhile, health secretary Wes Streeting strongly condemned Musk's remarks about Phillips, labeling them a 'disgraceful smear.' Farage is now calling for a public inquiry into the handling of child sexual exploitation cases, emphasizing the need for accountability regarding failures in the prosecution of these crimes. He has also linked these issues to broader criticisms of multiculturalism and the political reluctance to address them due to fears of inflaming racial tensions. Amidst these discussions, rumors suggest Musk may be considering financial support for Farage's Reform UK party.
