Ed Miliband hits back at Nigel Farage and Elon Musk

Ed Milliband issues warning to Elon Musk: ‘get the hell out of our politics’
  • Ed Miliband, the energy secretary, publicly told Elon Musk to "get the hell out of our politics and our country" during the Labour Party conference in Liverpool.
  • Miliband criticised Musk as part of a "global network" alongside Nigel Farage, claiming they aim to undermine societal ties and the British way of life.
  • The intervention followed Elon Musk's controversial remarks at a London rally, where he urged demonstrators to "fight back or die" and called for an urgent change in the UK government.
