Nigel Farage responds to Elon Musk’s ‘misinformed’ claim that Labour minister is a ‘rape genocide apologist’

Nigel Farage said ‘those on the left have been throwing these jibes at the right for many decades’ after Elon Musk labelled Labour’s safeguarding minister, Jess Phillips, a ‘rape genocide apologist.’

Wes Streeting has said attacks on the MP are a ‘disgraceful smear.’

The X owner also accused Sir Keir Starmer of allowing ‘rape gangs to exploit young girls without facing justice’ during his time as Director of Public Prosecutions.

‘I would rather live in a world where we are free to cause offence’ The Reform UK leader added.

The comments come after Phillips denied requests for a public inquiry into child sexual exploitation in Oldham.
