In a heated debate held at Westminster Hall in Parliament, the petition for a UK general election, which has garnered over 2.5 million signatures, took center stage. The discussion saw tensions rise as Sir Keir Starmer accused billionaire Elon Musk of spreading lies and misinformation regarding grooming gangs.
Musk fired back at Starmer’s accusations, claiming that the Labour leader was complicit in the mass rapes in exchange for votes. The Tesla CEO also criticized Conservative politicians for their calls for an inquiry into the scandal, suggesting that it would reveal Starmer’s involvement in the wrongdoing.
The debate further escalated when Starmer questioned Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s reluctance to order a full public inquiry, insinuating that it could expose failings during his time as head of the Crown Prosecution Service.
The exchange between Musk, Starmer, and Johnson highlights the intense political climate surrounding the grooming gang scandal and calls for accountability within the government. As the discussion unfolds, the British public eagerly awaits further developments in this ongoing political saga.

Hope everyone enjoyed the debate they petitioned for
Can someone explain how it ended and what the outcome was?
Why is this being debated now the petition doesn’t end until may.
What I heard from the Liebour lot was absolutely a load of crap. Everyone blaming Tories, black hole nothing new and the boys who look like they have just come out of school, also couldn’t come up with anything else. Liebour just cannot stop lying We need them out asap
Democracy means nothing. There are no real leaders in politics anymore. And people don't get to decide any real issues, that is decided by the party. Then there is the corporate owned media which is a major obstruction to any kind of democracy of the people.
Treated the people as idiots the hole hearing was dictated and run by labour party what a disgrace
Labour were elected based upon lies. It’s fraud.
It's so stupid that Labour claim that they inherited the biggest deficit since the 2nd World War with £22 Billion pounds as that statement isn't true as Labour passed on a £171 Billion pounds deficit to the Conservatives and the real reason we've had austerity for the last 14 years, so there as much to blame for the state of the country as they are… remember boom and bust, Labour obviously doesn't 🤔
As usual the public are ignored this was a total farce
Labour has got to go right now
Hold a referendum and find out whether the public wants to have new parliamentary elections
This solved nothing !! Again ignored! What a joke
I am so fed up of Labour blaming Tories, nobody said the job was easy but you said you could do it! All I’ve heard here is Labour say you’re wrong and don’t understand what we’re doing.
No we understand, we don’t like it!
What a complete load of twaddle. Change can be for the good or worse. In this case it is for the worse.
People voted to cut immigration. Nobody voted for free breakfast clubs. The NHS has never been perfect but it was adequate. The NHS is well funded it is the managment that lacks efficiency and has lost its way. We support the concept of growth to improve our lives but this government has done the opposite. We work to avoid the minimum wage – few voted to improve it. We are concerned about energy prices and how they are ruining our lives – this government is going along a path that increases those prices and will do nothing for the environment. They are ruining education with their politics of envy. They are completely nuts. This debate is ridiculous it is not addressing the real issues.
Labour are not solving any problems they are simply digging deeper holes making life unbearable. They have no plan but are making things up as they go along.
We need a general election to put this country back on corse.
🤣🤣🤣 Another incompetent western misleader who is despised by his people.
Let show them democracy and bring down all the labour party run city Councils and show them and starmer they represent the people of the United Kingdom not the party no more taxes for their lies and corruption
The Liebour lot seemed to me to miss the main point of the petition, had they said they would stop the winter fuel allowance, put VAT on private schools, not pay WASPI women, CGT on farmers and raise taxes by 40 billion many people would not have voted for them. As for the accusation that an algorithm put the signatures up to 3 million I feel offended as my name was on there for the reasons as above and the hypocrisy of the freebies etc!!
About time let's get Labour OUT
Not aloud classed as far right
Labour is just spend spend spend. It's our money that you are spending so spend it on looking after our people and our infrastructure. We would like some of OUR money to go to getting the grooming gangs brought to justice and immigration sorted to prevent us spending OUR money on free loaders that have no respect for our laws or our way of life. This country needs a massive shakeup and wakeup to what's going on in our country right now. We need to oust these incompetent so called politicians who just spend our money on non essentials and fill their bank accounts on their bent expenses. WE DO NOT TRUST YOU ANYMORE, YOU HAVE BETRAYED US SO MANY TIMES AND YOU AREN@T EVEN AFRAID TO HIDE IT ANYMORE. TREASON!
He is the worst one he lie to all he did nothing he should be in jail sex scandal what is going on in our country why he still PM ?😡😡
So whats the outcome ?
If you disagree with Kier Starma your far right! what a complete fool
Woke-communist-islamists regime is destroying UK into Third World sh!th0le !!!
Resign immediately an call general elections !!!
Breakfast clubs are for people who can't afford to feed their children breakfast. Perhaps if they focused on improving living standards they wouldn't need them?
Welcome in United KingDOOM of Islamic Caliphates and African Gangland !!!
UK it's under occupation of Islamic Jihad Army !!!
This means that if we Scots have a petition with 3000000 names ie 6% of our population we get to vote on independence likewise if in UK a petition with 3000000 we get to vote on rejoining the EU
Nobody in the gallery is allowed to speak, this tells me that you will, keep quiet and listen to our bull####
The only way were going to get a re-election is when Starmer is dodging gun shots, it wont be far away at this rate, he thinks hes untouchable as does labour but its a different game when its on your doorstep and its angry, how to put a target on your back, idiots!
Is that democracy?
Just stop lying Starmer. Worried citizens with very legitimate concerns are not 'far right' for wanting justice for those poor young girls horrifically abused by the grooming gangs. Shame on you.
Three million voters totally ignored total waffle and where was more gear kier
At least Farage turned up 😊 👍👍
Hang on, what is the result? What did they say ‘aye’ to?
For such an important issue, I am amazed at how many empty seats there were in the room. They are not taking this seriously are they?
