U.K.'s Starmer rebukes Musk and others for 'lies and misinformation'
Briefly

In a series of posts on his social media platform, Musk wrote that Starmer was "complicit in the rape of Britain" for failing to investigate. Musk distorted timelines and advanced false claims about the prime minister's position on the victims.
Starmer said, "Those that are spreading lies and misinformation as far and as wide as possible, they're not interested in victims - they are interested in themselves." His response highlighted the seriousness of Musk's claims.
Starmer emphasized the dangers of misinformation, stating, "When the poison of the far right leads to serious threats to [government minister] Jess Phillips and others, then in my book a line has been crossed." His remarks underline the impact of false narratives on public discourse.
