Richard Tice, the deputy leader of Reform UK, accused the Prime Minister of being \u201cin complete denial of the reality\u201d. Sir Keir accused US billionaire Elon Musk of trying to \u201cwhip up division\u201d in the UK after he offered to fund a private prosecution of Hampshire police.<\/p>\n
David Lammy has said Musk should \u201cstep back\u201d from tweeting about the case of Henry Nowak and \u201cget on with\u201d his IPO.<\/p>\n
The Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Secretary told Sky News: \u201cI think there\u2019s an IPO this week in the States on Starlink. Elon Musk should get on with that. I mean, tweeting over 100 times about this tragic, horrific case.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnyone who\u2019s seen the video, it\u2019s so harrowing and appalling. I\u2019ve got two teenage sons.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy heart goes out to the Nowak family. Let us not exploit their situation. They have asked for calm, they have asked of course for us to look closely at the issues around knife crime.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet us respect them. Elon Musk really, I think, he should stay out of this complex but painful situation for that family.\u201d<\/p>\n
He later added: \u201cI urge Elon Musk to stay out of tweeting about this sensitive case.\u201d<\/p>\n
But he said he was not minded to stop using X as a platform.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t spend time on X surfing Elon Musk tweets, so I haven\u2019t read them, but I\u2019m not sure any of them reached the standard that require that. But I think it is appropriate for politicians to urge Elon Musk to step back.\u201d<\/p>\n
Police race action plans<\/p>\n
The coroner who will preside over the inquest into Nowak\u2019s death confirmed that it would look at whether any \u201cact or omission by a police officer\u201d caused or contributed to his death. The inquest will be held in front of a jury.<\/p>\n
