Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the government must also answer “tough questions” about how authorities failed to stop a violence-obsessed teenager before he stabbed three young girls to death in the seaside town of Southport in July.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer vowed on Tuesday to "leave no stone unturned" to uncover failings in preventing the killings of three girls at a Taylor Swift-themed event, saying an inquiry could lead to a change in terrorism laws.

Sir Keir Starmer appealed for sympathy in a Downing Street press conference about the Southport killings. Yes, the focus was on the murdered children. Six-year-old Bebe, seven-year-old Elsie and Alice, nine, who died following a mass stabbing in the Merseyside seaside town last July.
