Musk 'Misinformed' on Grooming Gangs, Says Streeting

Elon Musk's attack on the government's handling of grooming gangs is "misjudged and certainly misinformed", Health Secretary Wes Streeting has said.
Tech multi-billionaire Musk has posted a series of messages on his social media site X, accusing Sir Keir Starmer of failing to prosecute gangs that systematically groomed and raped young girls, and calling for safeguarding minister Jess Phillips to be jailed.
Asked about his comments, Streeting said "this government takes the issue of child sexual exploitation incredibly seriously".
He invited Musk to "roll up his sleeves and work with us" against rape gangs.
The Tories have also criticised Musk for "sharing things that are factually inaccurate".
While visiting a care home in Carlisle on Friday, Streeting said Labour was getting "on with the job" of implementing the recommendations of the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse led by Professor Alexis Jay "in full".
He told reporters: "Some of the criticisms Elon Musk has made I think are misjudged and certainly misinformed.
"But we're willing to work with Elon Musk who I think has got a big role to play with his social media platform to help us and other countries tackle these serious issues.
"If he wants to work with us and roll his sleeves up, we'd welcome that."

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Someone is misinformed. I think "grooming gangs" is unnecessarily polite.
