Young Global Leader Keir Starmer to Ban Elon Musk from Participating in UK Politics


Keir Starmer bans Elon Musk from participating in UK politics.

British Prime Minister and Young Global Leader Keir Starmer has vowed to ban Elon Musk from participating in UK politics.

Responding to a post about Starmer’s collapsing approval rating on Friday, Musk announced, “All establishment parties in the UK will get crushed in the next election.”

Infowars.com reports: After meeting with Musk at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida last week, Farage claimed the world’s richest man is giving “serious thought” to donating millions of pounds to Reform UK.

The Guardian reports some government insiders are opposed to the prospect of rushing through changes to how much money a foreign national can donate through their UK-based companies.

“We’ll beat Reform by defeating their arguments rather than changing the rules to stop them getting money from Elon Musk,” a source told the outlet. “You don’t successfully take on populists by changing the rules in bid to thwart them.”

Musk cannot currently make a personal donation to a British political party because he’s a U.S. citizen, but he can donate via his UK corporations.

Lucy Powell, the Leader of the House of Commons, opened the door for a potential change in rules for donations by companies owned by foreigners, saying, “We’ve no immediate plans to do that, but we do have a manifesto commitment to look more broadly at our elections regime in this country, from things like votes at 16, which we’re committed to, but also to make sure that our electoral system has got that integrity and is robust from many of the new issues that face undermining our democracy and our elections. But just to be clear that foreign donations to UK-based political parties is prohibited under current law, so that’s something that already exists.”

Responding to the concept of the UK government essentially blocking Musk from donating millions to Reform, the party’s spokesperson Ann Widdecombe told GB News Labour is ready to “manipulate the system” in order to stay in power, adding, “The public can see that. The public aren’t fools.”

After Donald Trump’s landslide victory in America, with the help of Musk, globalists in the UK are now reading the tea leaves and trying to stop the inevitable populist revolution.
