US President Donald Trump has said Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has done a "very good job thus far" and that the pair have a "very good relationship".

Tech billionaire and Trump ally Elon Musk, however, has been strongly critical of Sir Keir and has repeatedly called for his removal from office.

Earlier this month Tesla boss Musk, who is an adviser to the president, criticised Starmer in a series of messages on his X social media platform over the grooming gangs scandal, saying the prime minister was "deeply complicit in the mass rapes in exchange for votes".

In response, Sir Keir, who was director of public prosecutions between 2008 and 2013, has accused critics of "spreading lies and misinformation" and says he tackled prosecutions "head on".
