Starmer Says Musk Is Interfering in UK Politics Over Nowak Case
Starmer said Musk’s posts on the murder fueled division as protests and clashes with police spread, while the killer was jailed for at least 21 years.
- On Thursday, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer accused Elon Musk of interfering in British politics and trying to "whip up division" over the death of Henry Nowak during a visit to York.
- Last year, 18-year-old Henry Nowak was fatally stabbed by 23-year-old Vickrum Digwa in Southampton; footage recently emerged showing police handcuffing Nowak as he lay dying despite repeatedly telling officers he could not breathe.
- Musk, who owns X, criticized the police response as treating Nowak "heinously" and falsely claimed the mainstream media was "dead silent" about the murder, with his post gaining 27.6 million views.
- Sir Keir acknowledged "questions that need to be answered" about police conduct and supported an ongoing investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct, urging all politicians to respect the family's plea for calm.
- Conservatives have called for a full misconduct investigation into the officers involved, while Ealing Southall Labour MP Deirdre Costigan stressed the wider Sikh community is "not to blame for the actions of one individual.
