But that is obviously where quite a lot of the attention is focusing.
Nigel Farage, as we've mentioned, that's where he's putting his focus.
But also Kemi Badenoch.
has also talked and the Conservatives have talked about how different groups of people shouldn't be treated differently by the police.
Kemi Badenoch has suggested that perhaps there's been, in her words, an overcorrection in relation to some of the concerns there have been about the way that police treat people of different races or religions in the past.
So again, I think that's going to be another area of focus to see if anything does come out of this.
Although it's also worth saying the Prime Minister doesn't think that there is two-tier policing in this country.
Bye, Chris.
I also think that this fight, if you want to call that, with Elon Musk is one that Keir Starmer is quite willing to have.
I think he doesn't mind being seen as the man who's prepared to take on the tech billionaire who's pumping out a load of stuff on social media about British politics.
I think Keir Starmer is quite happy to find himself in that position, even though he might also fundamentally disagree with everything that Elon Musk is saying.
What's he going to be?
Yeah, I mean, I haven't counted them all, but the FT did a little tot-up of all of these tweets, and they say there's been 110 in the past few days.
So he's prolific when he decides he gets stuck into something, and he's been tweeting incessantly about this.
Yeah, although I do wonder that people maybe take it with a bit more of a pinch of salt now than they did, say, a few years ago, when I think X was just had maybe a little bit more traction in Westminster.
But yeah, everybody's still on it and everybody's still looking at it.
But I think most people now do so with the knowledge that it still isn't the real world.
However, it's something that gets a lot of pickup on X. And when Elon Musk Xs, clearly it does because he's the boss of it, right?
Yeah.
then clearly they're going to be paying attention to it.
