SIR Keir Starmer told Elon Musk today to stop trying to divide Britain and get out of British politics in a long-overdue pushback against the pro-fascist billionaire.

The Prime Minister, who has long avoided offending Mr Musk for fear of upsetting US President Donald Trump, was finally pushed into action by the X owner’s backing for the far right in the wake of Henry Nowak’s murder.

He accused Mr Musk, who has persistently interfered in British politics, of “trying to whip up division” over the 18-year-old’s killing, for which Vickrum Digwa was convicted this week.

He said: “We also need to 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. In Britain we are reasonable, tolerant people.

“When we have a terrible case like Henry Nowak, we react calmly as his family has done.”

His remarks came as two participants in Tuesday’s far-right riot in Southampton were charged by the Crown Prosecution Service.

Matt Styler, 50, was charged with assaulting a police officer and Daniel Frost, 44, with violent disorder and possession of an offensive weapon.

Eleven police officers and a police dog were injured in the disturbance, which drew a range of neofascist leaders to Southampton from across Britain’s fragmented far right.

Green MP Sian Berry MP said that those who “seek to use this tragedy to incite violence, create division in our communities and further their own political ambitions, are deeply irresponsible and deserve no place in our public life.”

“We also reject attempts to scapegoat the entire Sikh community for an act carried out by a single individual and we stand in solidarity with them,” she said.

Sir Keir has also backed a full probe into the actions of the police officers who arrested Mr Nowak as he lay dying after being stabbed by Mr Digwa.

He said “there are questions that need to be answered” over the police response and added that the Independent Office for Police Conduct should be allowed to “get on with their job” in investigating the incident.

“I think it’s right that there may need to be changes and we shouldn’t shy away from that,” Sir Keir said, before meeting Mr Nowak’s family in Downing Street.

The PM further deepened his row with the world’s richest fascist by backing Labour MP Jess Asato, who is taking legal action against X for creating fake images of her using the Musk-owned Grok artificial intelligence system.

“Jess Asato is absolutely right in the action she is taking,” he said.

“When it comes to disgusting images on Grok, we take Grok on and fight because that’s who we are as a country.”

The premier’s challenge to Mr Musk follows his denunciation of Nigel Farage in the Commons on Wednesday, after the Reform boss had called for “pure cold rage” over Mr Nowak’s murder and claimed Britain was suffering from “two-tier policing.”

He called Mr Farage’s comments, in the face of calls for calm from Mr Nowak’s family, “unforgivable.”

Sir Keir, almost certainly in the twilight of his disastrous premiership, has become more strident in his attacks on the hard right since the departure of his chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, over the Mandelson scandal.

Mr McSweeney’s political strategy turned on appeasing Reform-inclined voters, despite overwhelming evidence that Labour has lost far more votes to parties to its left, primarily the Greens in England, than to Reform, and that Reform voters are least likely to be persuaded to return to Labour.
