Sir Keir Starmer will defend his record in tackling grooming gangs on Monday after the US billionaire Elon Musk accused him of being “complicit in the rape of Britain”.

Musk, who is a close ally of Donald Trump, the US president-elect, has accused Starmer of failing to prosecute gangs that systematically raped and groomed young girls when he was the director of public prosecutions. He has called for Jess Phillips, the safeguarding minister, to be jailed after she declined to launch a public inquiry. He described Phillips as a “rape genocide apologist”.

The German city of Magdeburg was written into the sad history of terrorist attacks by Muslim migrants, when Saudi Arabian terrorist Taleb al-Abdulmohsen drove 200 meters into a crowded Christmas market on December 20, murdering a nine-year-old boy and four women, while wounding more than 200 people, 40 critically.

Elon Musk has called for Nigel Farage to be replaced as leader of Reform UK, just weeks after it was claimed the multi-billionaire was in talks to donate a large sum to the party.

In a post on his social media site X, Musk said Farage “doesn’t have what it takes” to lead the party.

Farage defended Musk to the BBC on Sunday, saying “free speech was back”, after the tech entrepreneur attacked the UK government’s response to grooming gangs.

It looks like Good Morning Britain's @GMB poll blew up in their face.

Farage hates Tommy Robinson and has always been ludicrously soft on Islam.

Europe and America gave many terrorists everything: educational and job opportunities, entertainment and sexual freedom, salaries and social assistance and religious freedom. The terrorists below have never seen a day of poverty in their lives.

With Westerners excusing terrorism, who needs Islamists?

July 14, 2016, Nice. During the fireworks festival, an Islamic terrorist kills 87 people, adults and children, under a truck that claimed to be carrying ice cream to the celebration of the French Revolution.

By the time he came up with the idea of bombing a Taylor Swift concert, Beran Aliji’s young life had completely broken down. In July, amid a self-described mental crisis, the 19-year-old Austrian abruptly quit his job as a factory apprentice and isolated himself in his apartment, obsessing, as he later told police, about his own death.

With no money or prospects, and in lieu of close friendships, he began to immerse himself in a virtual world of violent videos and secret chatrooms devoted to the Islamic State. According to phone records seized by police, he began looking to the extremist group first for inspiration and then for practical advice about planning an attack.

A decade ago, the whole of France seemed to unite in support of Charlie Hebdo, the satirical weekly that had fallen victim to Islamist terrorism.

“Je suis Charlie” T-shirts and banners were everywhere. More than four million people joined marches in support of the magazine across the country. And François Hollande, the Socialist president of the day, promised to defend freedom of expression in the name of the caricaturists and writers among the 12 victims of the attack.

It has not worked out that way, at least according to Charlie Hebdo’s surviving journalists. “During this past decade, the French left has beaten all the records of cowardice and denial,” wrote Laurent Sourisseau, known as Riss, the cartoonist and director of Charlie Hebdo, who was injured in the 2015 attack.
