U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer hits back at Elon Musk and the "poison of the far right"
CBSN
Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer hit back at Elon Musk on Monday after the world's richest man repeatedly lobbed a host of inflammatory allegations at the country's leader over his government's record on a long-running national child grooming scandal.
Musk has accused the United Kingdom leader of being "complicit in the rape of Britain" on his X platform and has repeatedly elevated claims without evidence that Starmer knowingly refused to prosecute child groomers when he was the country's top lawyer.
Throughout the past 48 hours alone, Musk has called for Starmer to be imprisoned and posted a poll to his X followers posing the question as to whether "America should liberate the people of Britain from their tyrannical government."
