Keir Starmer and Elon Musk Keir Starmer has accused Elon Musk of “trying to whip up division” in the UK over the murder of Henry Nowak. The billionaire owner of X has made numerous posts on social media in recent days about the teenager’s tragic death. Henry was stabbed to death by Vickrum Digwa, who then falsely told the police that he had been the victim of racism. Eighteen-year-old Henry was then arrested and handcuffed by police as he lay dying. Digwa was jailed for life with a minimum term of 21 years at Southampton Crown Court on Monday. Musk has offered to fund a private prosecution against Hampshire Police over their conduct, which is now being investigated by the Independent Office for Police Complaints. But speaking on a trip to Yorkshire, Starmer told Musk to keep out of British politics. He said: “We need to assert who we are as a country because Musk again has been interfering in our politics in the last few days, trying to whip up division. That is not who we are in Britain. “In Britain we are reasonable, tolerant people. When we have a terrible case like Henry’s case, Henry Nowak, we react calmly as his family has done.” Subscribe to Commons People , the podcast that makes politics easy.
