The X-owning billionaire has waded into one of the darkest scandals in recent British history: the horrific rape and abuse of thousands of girls across the UK by so-called “grooming gangs”.

Musk’s inflammatory posts on his social media platform, X - including personal attacks on Jess Phillips and others - have prompted statements from Keir Starmer, questions from Kemi Badenoch in PMQs, and extensive coverage across the mainstream media.

How should the UK government respond to a foreign billionaire with a platform that amplifies misinformation to hundreds of millions around the world?

Andrew Marr joins Hannah Barnes and Rachel Cunliffe on Politics from the New Statesman.
