(I had changed the subtitle to "skips" from "jumps" but I've put it back in. Now it's all translated by Google. I don't want to misinterpret or put my own bias on anything.)

I have not seen much in the way of condemnation from EU or UK politicians either, Sir Kier Starmer especially who seems to be a target for Musk.

He needs to stand up to bullies like musk or musk will just walk all over the UK government now and in the future, at least until he has a puppet in Number 10.
