“It’s ridiculous isn’t it,” Phillips said when asked how she felt about Musk targeting her. “The things that he’s saying are so ridiculous as to initially make me just go, what?

“But then you wake up with the realisation that that’s millions of people he has said that to, and you feel immediately like this is going to turn my world upside down and I have to try and limit for how long that is the case.”

Phillips went on: “The thing that annoys me the most about it is – it takes up so much bandwidth of my time from a man who knows absolutely nothing about the subject he’s talking about, when the only thing I ever want to be doing is being able to use all of my brain power to focus on the hundreds of girls I have supported over the years who have been victims of grooming gangs and what needs to happen to make their lives better.”
