Jess Phillips: ‘I’ve had to make changes to my life’ after Musk posts

One MP who has been accused of not engaging with the grooming gang issue is the Safeguarding minister Jess Phillips.

In an attack that provoked the fury of Sir Keir Starmer, Elon Musk accused her of being a "rape genocide apologist" and suggested she should be in prison.

The important issue here is obviously how Jess feels about online trolls and not how she covered up rapes...

Jess Phillips "I had to change my life", yes so have many of us to far greater detriment.

I wonder if the children who were raped and then denied justice for decades had to make any changes to their lives when their rapists were still walking the same streets they are?

God she’s unbearable. She knows why she almost lost her consistency and she’ll do anything not to offend them. There’s a reason why Oldham were asking the govt for help. Jenrick is totally correct and Jess knows it

Channel 4, just another cog in the propaganda machine.

Foreign men groom working class girls on an industrial scale to this day - it is covered up by the police on the orders of the state. There is a long list of people involved. People like TR spoke out about it and have consequently been eliminated from public space. Musk is speaking up because he can, but it's not just a Labour problem, it's a fundamental problem with the idea that we can mix cultures without significant consequence, or rather, what part of society pays the price for the ruling classes 'luxury beliefs'.

Is it true that JP use exactly the same phrase to describe George Galloway on twitter in 2015?

[alanmckay]

I'm the real victim in all this.

Jess Phillips.

UK laws which protect child rapist should be changed first .
Dont understand how countries can keep laws which make criminals gang rape their girl and boys be left free.

Also compensation is to be given for all these victims.

Attacking physically people who supported raping children will depend on type of culture they are in.

Trump actually got shot and didn’t make this much fuss

"Whether it's a prosecutable offence"
Probably shouldn't have said the exact same thing yourself about George Galloway back in 2015 then should you?

Pot. Kettle. Stones. Glass houses.

How is Channel 4 allowing her to play the victim - disgusting. She has taken her view based on her waffer thin constitutancy majority (650) rather than principle, she is just another slimy politican

Birmingham Yardley constituency, 2021 census: 45% Muslim demographic. Up 13% on 2011.

[traceybentham]

According to GBNews today she has NEVER spoken to a single victim of child grooming. So who's lying and what about the story of her shoes😡

[samhicks]

Cathy has aged 30 years since the Jordan interview. She’s looking in her 70s now sort of feel sorry for her

[MarkBowenPiano]

So complaining about being called something that she called George Galloway back in 2015?
This is going to be fun 😂

[CaptainMarmite]

That massive shoulder shrug gives away how she really feels. She was scared of being called racist. Just like the rest of the spineless politicians.

[Xajsjs]

If she has worked so much for the victims how come she didn’t call out the perpetrators? The Pakistani community

[susanleatherbarrow]

I see Channel 4 are broadcasting 'The Fake Grooming Scandal'!!!! Great timing!!!! Insensitive or what!!!!

[gigglemaniarunninwild]

She’s playing victim what a narcissist, what about all the real victims she let down
