Liz Truss has issued Sir Keir Starmer with a cease and desist letter, warning him to stop saying she “crashed the economy”. The former prime minister’s lawyers have said the remarks - made since the lead up to the general election - are likely to “cause serious harm to her reputation”, claiming they are “false and defamatory”.

A letter sent to the current PM suggests his words may have contributed to the ex-PM sensationally losing her seat at the election.

The row between Kemi Badenoch, Keir Starmer, Elon Musk, and others, centres around a series of high-profile cases where groups of men - mainly of Pakistani descent - were convicted of sexually abusing and raping predominantly young white girls around the UK.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer clashed with opposition leader Kemi Badenoch on Wednesday (January 8) over the need for a new national inquiry into grooming gangs.

Sir Keir Starmer has accused the Conservatives of prioritising winning support on Elon Musk's social media site above protecting children by pushing for a vote on a new nationwide child grooming investigation.
