The Tory leadership should be calling out Elon Musk for what he is

The suggestion by Robert Jenrick that some of those who have migrated to this country have backward, “medieval” attitudes has been backed by Kemi Badenoch, the current leader of the Conservatives. Meanwhile, the Conservatives have joined calls by Elon Musk for a new UK-wide inquiry into child sexual abuse, despite a wide-ranging independent probe having concluded its work in 2022. Why is the opposition party calling for another inquiry when, after the seven years’ work of Prof Alexis Jay, they did nothing to implement her recommendations? The measure has widespread public support – over 200,000 people have signed a petition calling for its introduction at Westminster, and polling by Opinium shows that 72 per cent of the public support it. Liz Saville Roberts MP, Plaid Cymru Westminster leader; Caroline Lucas MP, former Green Party leader; Zack Polanski AM, London Assembly member; Professor AC Grayling; Paul Mason, author of ‘How to Stop Fascism’; Jennifer Nadel, co-founder Compassion in Politics; plus 36 other signatories “Alien cultures with medieval attitudes”??
