Prime Minister Keir Starmer says the killing of three girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class must lead to “fundamental change” in how the British state protects citizens

Keir Starmer has denied engaging in a cover-up to prevent the public knowing about Southport killer Axel Rudakubana’s background in the aftermath of his murderous rampage. The prime minister insisted he was following “the law of the land” to avoid the possibility of the case against the 18-year-old collapsing and him then being able to walk free.

The Prime Minister spoke live to the nation from Number 10 Downing Street on Tuesday in response to the Southport attack
