Read our privacy policy Sir Keir Starmer is under pressure to cut Elon Musk’s access to government contracts and funding after the billionaire’s firms raked in more than £190m of taxpayer cash since 2016. Labour MP Joe Powell, chair of parliament’s cross-party anti-corruption group, said it is “ironic that Musk’s companies have benefitted from nearly £200m of UK taxpayers’ money in subsidies and grants over recent years”. He told The Independent: “If he is so critical of UK government policies, perhaps he should consider returning the money his companies have pocketed and focus on his business ventures instead of interfering in British politics.” Alex Sobel praised Sir Keir for calling out Mr Musk’s lies and misinformation about grooming gangs, his record as director of public prosecutions and safeguarding minister Jess Phillips. He added: “When the poison of the far right leads to serious threats, to Jess Phillips and others, that in my book, means a line has been crossed.” Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey went further, calling for the government to summon the US ambassador to raise Mr Musk’s tweets.
