Elon Musk’s comments regarding Jess Phillips’ handling of grooming gangs have sparked outrage, with Health Secretary Wes Streeting labeling them a ‘disgraceful smear.’ Musk called for Phillips to be jailed and criticized her response to child sexual exploitation inquiries in Oldham. Streeting defended Phillips’ record in combating violence against women, contrasting Musk’s statements with her efforts. Reform UK’s Nigel Farage defended Musk’s freedom of speech, while Tory leader Kemi Badenoch demanded a national inquiry into the issue. The political landscape is heated as calls for accountability grow.
