Britain’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer hit back at Elon Musk on Monday after the world’s richest man repeatedly lobbed a host of inflammatory allegations at the country’s leader over his government’s record on a long-running national child grooming scandal.
Musk has accused the United Kingdom leader of being “complicit in the rape of Britain” on his X platform and has repeatedly elevated claims without evidence that Starmer knowingly refused to prosecute child groomers when he was the country’s top lawyer.
EPSOM, ENGLAND – JANUARY 06: U.K. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer answers questions from the media. The prime minister defended his record after tech billionaire Elon Musk made several allegations about the U.K. government’s handling of historic child sex abuses in the country.
The Chairman of the College of Policing has warned that logging non-crime hate incidents (NCHIs) is becoming a “distraction” from real police work.
Lord Herbert of South Downs told The Times Crime and Justice Commission, which will recommend criminal justice reforms next year, that there should be a wholesale review of NCHIs to consider whether they should be scrapped.
According to Freedom of Information responses, British police forces recorded 13,200 NCHIs in the year to June 2024.
