Keir Starmer slams Elon Musk for ‘trying to whip up division’ in UK

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has hit out at tech billionaire Elon Musk for once more interfering in British politics and trying to whip up hate and division.

It comes after Musk made a series of interventions on his social media platform X, backing claims of two-tier policing in the UK following the horrific murder of Henry Nowak.

18-year-old Nowak, was stabbed to death by Vickrum Digwa, 23, in Southampton in December last year.

Digwa told police that Nowak had attacked him and removed his turban. The court found that Digwa lied.

Nowak was handcuffed by police as he said he couldn’t breathe and that he had been stabbed. A police officer is heard asking him where he had been stabbed and then saying: “I don’t think you have mate”.

Hampshire police have apologised and the force’s Police and Crime Commissioner Donna Jones described the incident as a “national tragedy”.

The likes of Nigel Farage have been criticised for exploiting the horrific murder of Henry Nowak in order to create ‘grievance and division’. Musk has tried to do the same, claiming without evidence, that there is two-tier policing in the UK.

He even posted on X: “The West has created an utterly evil state religion where an accusation of “racism” is the gravest offense that can be committed, even worse than rape or murder!”

Speaking on a visit to Yorkshire, Starmer, who has previously clashed with Musk, accused the tech billionaire and Trump supporter of ‘trying to whip up division” in the UK following the murder of Nowak.

Starmer said: “We need to assert who we are as a country because Musk again has been interfering in our politics in the last few days, trying to whip up division. That is not who we are in Britain.”
