Making a surprise appearance via videolink, Musk called for a “change of government” in the UK.

“You can’t - we don’t have another four years, or whenever the next election is, it’s too long,” Musk told the crowd. “Something’s got to be done. There’s got to be a dissolution of Parliament and a new vote held.”

He bought our last election, “whenever it was”, so please don’t just write this off as billionaire-funded conservative nutjobs. You are in real danger.
