Chris Philp accused of courting Musk over grooming gangs scandal social media post
Briefly

Independent journalists cover a wide range of US issues, including reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, while keeping reporting free from paywalls. The outlet investigates financial ties, produces documentaries highlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights, and emphasizes separating facts from messaging. Donor support funds reporters to cover developing stories and to speak to both sides. Shadow home secretary Chris Philp replied to Elon Musk’s social post offering funding for private legal action tied to the grooming gangs scandal and claimed to have evidence of a senior police officer deliberately covering up assaults. His intervention prompted questions about why evidence had not been handed to the police and raised scrutiny over pursuing private prosecutions instead of official channels.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground.
