The only group of the public who have a favourable view of Musk are Reform UK voters, with 51% holding a positive opinion. More than two thirds of Britons (69%) say they don’t trust Musk on the issue of grooming gangs, including 57% who say they don’t trust him “at all”. Only 15% say they trust Musk much on the issue, with just 5% saying they trust him “a lot”. Labour, Conservative and Lib Dem voters say implementing the Jay Review suggestions is the priority, while most Reform UK voters would rather a new inquiry were held. This latter view is the most common view among Reform UK voters, of whom 48% expect the police and local authorities to repeat their approach.
