Jess Phillips hits back
Jess Phillips has strongly criticized Elon Musk over his comments on the grooming gangs scandal, calling him "ridiculous" and stating that he knows "absolutely nothing" about the issue. The Safeguarding Minister expressed concerns for her safety due to the abuse she has faced from the tech billionaire, which she says has "turned her world upside down."
Lies and misinformation
Elon Musk's attacks on Labour and support for EDL leader Tommy Robinson have sparked controversy. Prime Minister Keir Starmer denounced Musk for "spreading lies and misinformation." Phillips expressed frustration, highlighting that Musk's comments divert her focus from supporting victims of grooming gangs and working towards solutions to prevent such abuse.
Local inquiries vs. national probe
Phillips emphasized the importance of local inquiries, drawing from her experience in Telford. She questioned the effectiveness of a Home Office-led inquiry in Oldham and stressed the need to prioritize the voices of victims. Despite Musk's intervention, she remains committed to evidence-based decision-making and ensuring progress on implementing recommendations from past inquiries.
