Tommy Robinson has caused a rift on the right

It feels like just yesterday the X owner and the Reform leader were pictured together at Mar-a-Lago. Now Elon Musk has publicly attacked Nigel Farage, saying he ‘doesn’t have what it takes’ to lead the party and should be replaced.

The men are split over Tommy Robinson, real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. Currently in prison for contempt of court, the far-Right activist has received Musk’s backing, while Farage has distanced himself from the EDL founder.

Their public spat began after the resurfacing of the child grooming scandal, as it was revealed a Labour minister declined to lead an inquiry in Oldham. We also ask: would a new inquiry help the victims get justice?
