Labour ministers have faced awkward questions over their apparent snub of Elon Musk from the UK government's recent investment summit. Responding to BBC claims that Musk was not invited because of his political views, Keir Starmer said he would 'welcome' any UK investment from the world's richest man. So why was he not invited this year?
Peter Kyle did his best to explain away Musk's absence by way of saying the summit was for existing and potential investors only, albeit Musk had been invited to last year's event (under the Tory government). Musk has since stated that he is happy to invest in the UK, but it appears that mocking our hapless Prime Minister on X and endorsing Donald Trump gets you frozen out.
Jonathan Reynolds faired far worse in a Sky News interview with Trevor Phillips. The Business Secretary repeatedly dodged the question and ended up humiliating himself as Phillips persisted to the point of exasperation.
Watch below.
Labour's Musk snub will surely come back to bite them, as will their pathetic school playground stances against Donald Trump during his presidency. If Trump returns to the White House, which is currently more likely than not, there will surely be some humble pie for various Labour politicians now in government. Our current Foreign Secretary repeatedly insulted President Trump, labelling him a 'neo-Nazi sympathiser' and a 'sociopath' amongst other things. Here's to Dave eating that humble pie...
