The prime minister has said Elon Musk’s criticism of the policing at a disturbance in Birmingham this week was “dangerous”.
The owner of X (formerly Twitter) claimed the force was guilty of “two-tier policing”.
Musk reacted to a video showing crowds of mainly Muslim men outside a Yardley pub where disorder took place on Monday, and tagged Sir Keir Starmer in a post questioning why all communities “weren’t protected” in Britain.
On a visit to Solihull on Thursday, the prime minister said talk of two-tier policing was wrong and dangerous, because it exposed police to “more danger”.
