Edward Luce on Musk: No Real Precedent for British Gov’t ‘Having a De-Facto Incoming Vice-President Call for a Change of Gov’t in Britain’

EXCERPT”

LUCE: “Since then, there have been many inquiries. There are now, I think, 60 or 70 people in jail, some of them for life, and dozens of other separate trials going on. So, this is a long-standing scandal that has recently come back to life because Elon Musk, as you just mentioned in your introduction, alleges that Keir Starmer, Britain's prime minister, is somehow responsible for covering it up. It's bizarre timing and there's no real basis to what Musk is alleging, and there's no real precedent for a British government having what you call the first friend of America, having, you know, maybe de facto incoming vice president call for a change of government in Britain, in one of America's closest allies."
