00:00Question of Elon Musk, those that are spreading lies and misinformation as far and as wide as possible,

00:07they're not interested in victims, they're interested in themselves. Those who are cheerleading,

00:14Tommy Robinson, are interested in justice. They're supporting a man who went to prison

00:21for nearly collapsing a grooming case, a gang grooming case. These are people who are trying

00:28to get some kind of vicarious thrill from street violence that people like Tommy Robinson promote.

00:33And those attacking Jess Phillips, who I am proud to call a colleague and a friend,

00:39not protecting victims. Jess Phillips has done a thousand times more than they've even dreamt about

00:45when it comes to protecting victims of sexual abuse throughout her entire career.

00:51I'm prepared to call out this for what it is. We've seen this playbook many times.
