British PM Keir Starmer on Thursday ​said Elon Musk should stop interfering in British politics, after the billionaire X owner posted ‌on his platform about a murder that has triggered a public outcry and protests, Reuters<\/a> writes.<\/p>\n

Last year, 18-year-old Henry Nowak was handcuffed by British police as he lay dying from stab wounds after his killer falsely alleged a racist attack. The killer, a ​Sikh man named Vickrum Digwa, was sentenced on Monday.<\/p>\n

Video footage released after the sentencing showed officers ignoring the pleas ​of a dying, innocent man and has sparked anger and a political storm about ⁠how police treat different ethnicities.<\/p>\n

Starmer has said police had serious questions to answer about their handling of ​the incident, but condemned a violent and disorderly protest that took place on Tuesday night and said it was “unforgivable” to ​exploit the death to stir tension.<\/p>\n

“Musk again has been interfering in our politics in the last few days, trying to whip up division,” Starmer told reporters.<\/p>\n

Musk had posted about the case on X, suggesting ‌police are ⁠biased against white people.<\/p>\n

“The West has created an utterly evil state religion where an accusation of ‘racism’ is the gravest offense that can be committed, even worse than rape or murder!” he posted on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
