Elon Musk targets Keir Starmer while Kemi Badenoch calls for a national inquiry into grooming gangs in the UK
Oldham: So, Elon Musk is really going after Keir Starmer lately. He’s been vocal about the UK’s handling of the grooming gangs scandal, and it’s getting a lot of attention.
Musk took to X, formerly Twitter, to say that Jess Phillips, the safeguarding minister, should be in prison for not pushing for a public inquiry into child sexual exploitation in Oldham. That’s a pretty bold statement!
On the other hand, Kemi Badenoch, the Tory leader, is saying it’s high time for a full national inquiry into these organized grooming gangs. She believes victims deserve justice, and she’s not holding back.
Phillips did acknowledge the strong feelings about the inquiry but insisted that it’s up to Oldham Council to decide if they want to commission one. She’s not keen on the government stepping in.
Musk didn’t hold back either. He pointed fingers at Starmer, saying that during his time as director of public prosecutions, young girls were exploited without justice. That’s a serious accusation!
He even called Starmer “two-tier Keir,” suggesting there’s a double standard when it comes to justice for serious crimes versus social media posts. Ouch!
Meanwhile, Badenoch is pushing for 2025 to be the year victims finally get the justice they deserve. She’s calling for a national inquiry, saying that trials have happened all over the country, but no one has connected the dots.
It’s a messy situation, and it seems like everyone is trying to figure out how to address these serious issues. The survivors are at the heart of this, and it’s crucial that their voices are heard.
In the end, it looks like there’s a lot of pressure on the government to take action. Musk’s comments and Badenoch’s demands are just adding fuel to the fire. Let’s see how this unfolds!
