🔥 Tensions are running high as Nick Clegg, former Deputy PM, throws his support behind Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey in a fiery exchange with tech mogul Elon Musk! 🚀
At the recent Liberal Democrats’ conference in Bournemouth, Sir Ed didn’t hold back, calling Musk a criminal and urging Parliament to bring him in for his controversial comments at the “Unite the Kingdom” rally. These remarks, dubbed by Clegg as skirting dangerously close to inciting violence, have sparked a major political clash. 📣
Nick Clegg, who spent seven years in the tech realm with Meta, backed Sir Ed’s bold statements, labelling Musk’s actions as a severe intrusion into UK sovereignty. 🏛️ He highlighted past instances of American interference in European politics, stressing the need for our government to stand firm. Sir Ed isn’t stopping there; he’s pushing for an Ofcom investigation into Musk’s platform X for breaching online safety laws.
Lib Dems are bracing for possible legal brawls over their leader’s strong words, but it’s clear they’re not shying away from the fight. Meanwhile, deputy leader Daisy Cooper is making waves herself, advocating for a windfall tax on big banks to fund energy efficiency loans!
