Speaking during a visit to Yorkshire, Starmer said the UK must “assert who we are as a country,” adding that external voices were attempting to inflame tensions. He stressed that Britain remained a “reasonable and tolerant” society and urged calm in response to the case.
“We need to also 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," Starmer was quoted as saying by news agency AFP.
