Nigel Farage has come to the defense of Elon Musk after the billionaire criticized the UK government’s handling of grooming gang issues on X. Musk’s comments, aimed at Home Office minister Jess Phillips and Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, have sparked debates on free speech and accountability. Farage emphasized the importance of open debate, while also expressing public concerns regarding the failure to fully investigate past grooming scandals. The discussions occur against a backdrop of local inquiries into child sexual exploitation, and calls for national scrutiny from various political factions.
