On Monday, Keir Starmer defended his role as Britain’s top prosecutor by avoiding the notice of US businessman Elon Musk in particular and responding to Musk’s criticism that he had failed to prosecute criminals that sexually abused girls before he became prime secretary.
On his social media platform X, Musk, an alliance of US President-elect Trump, has been criticizing Starmer for what he claimed was a failure to punish groups of people who raped adolescent girls when he was the director of public prosecutions between 2008 and 2013.
Starmer vehemently defended his position as DPP, claiming that he had overcame the opposition by reopening circumstances. The second significant trial of an Eastern cleaning gang was brought by me. I changed the entire trial approach”, he told a press conference, obviously irritated. ” Those who spread lies and misconceptions as widely as they can are not concerned about the subjects, but rather about themselves.” After the PM spoke, Musk continued to speak to the controversy on X, calling Starmer “absolutely vile.”
A 2014 examination found 1, 400 children were subjected to sexual abuse in Rotherham between 1997 and 2013.
Starmer is no Musk’s sole focus. On Sunday, Musk said Brexit champion Nigel Farage may start as right-wing Reform Party key.
