Elon Musk shoot zero up Keir Starmer and on British Labor governmentwhile on the ‘special relationship’ between USA And United Kingdom there is a risk that increasingly thick shadows will grow in view of the possible return to the White House Donald Trump. The richest man in the world, designated by the American president-elect to lead the bureaucratization department, has unleashed a series of accusations from his profile X – social media of which he is patron.
Accusations against Starmer and Labour
Musk accused the current British Prime Minister of being complicit in the alleged cover-up of sexual abuse perpetrated by pedophile gangs in communities of Asian origin, in the years in which Starmer was chief prosecutor of Crown Prosecution Service. In his tweets, Musk states that Starmer must go and face charges of complicity in what he calls the “worst mass crime in the history of Britain”.
The accusations are fueled by an investigation by Daily Telegraphwhich reported the alleged negligence of the investigating authorities and the police in investigating abuses that occurred in places such as Oldham And Rotherham. It is alleged that the authorities hesitated for fear of being branded as racist or Islamophobicepisodes that date back to Starmer’s time as Crown prosecutor (2008-2013).
Political and diplomatic reactions
The new leader of the Tory opposition, Kemi Badenochinvokes a new one independent investigationwhile Musk does not limit himself to this: he demands that the United Kingdom return to the polls and accuses the Starmer government of no longer having popular support. Furthermore, he attacks the Minister of Equal Opportunities, Jess Phillipsarguing that he deserves prison for covering up for the prime minister.
Downing Street responded with caution, delegating to the Health Minister a comment that invites Musk, defined as “uninformed”, to deal with the US problems.
Musk, Trump and the future of US-UK relations
Musk’s moves raise questions about possible coordination with Trumpespecially considering the billionaire’s support for formations such as ReformUKthe party of Nigel Faragewhich Musk appears intent on funding. Added to this is the appointment of Peter Mandelsonformer advisor to Tony Blair, as the future British ambassador to Washington, a choice greeted with contempt by Trump’s entourage.
In this context, Keir Starmer finds itself having to manage increasingly complex diplomatic relations, between internal accusations and tensions with the US administration.
