UK's Starmer criticises those 'spreading lies and misinformation' online

Transcript

00:00I don't really have any comments on the particular comment that was made this morning by Musk.

00:16On the question of Elon Musk, look, I think most people are more interested in what's

00:22going to happen to the NHS, frankly, than what's happening on Twitter.

00:27Those that are spreading lies and misinformation as far and as wide as possible, they're not

00:33interested in victims, they're interested in themselves.

00:39Those who are cheerleading, Tommy Robinson, not interested in justice, they're supporting

00:45a man who went to prison for nearly collapsing a grooming case, a gang grooming case.

00:54These are people who are trying to get some kind of vicarious thrill from street violence

00:57that people like Tommy Robinson promote.

01:00And those attacking Jess Phillips, who I am proud to call a colleague and a friend, not

01:06protecting victims, Jess Phillips has done 1,000 times more than they've even dreamt

01:12about when it comes to protecting victims of sexual abuse throughout her entire career.

01:19I'm prepared to call out this for what it is.

01:23We've seen this playbook many times, whipping up of intimidation and threats of violence,

01:30hoping that the media will amplify it.

01:33Now, Jess Phillips does not need me or anybody else to speak on her behalf.

01:41But when the poison of the far right leads to serious threats to Jess Phillips and others,

01:49then in my book, a line has been crossed.

03:20All right.
