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.

Keir Starmer warned the country that there is a “new threat” of terrorism in the UK this morning. It comes after Axel Rudakubana admitted murdering three little girls in Southport last year in a knife attack while they were attending a Taylor Swift-themed dance class.

Sir Keir Starmer says Britain faces new terror threats from “loners, misfits and young men in their bedrooms” following the Southport murders.

Nigel Farage repeated claims of a "cover up" over the Southport killings after Sir Keir Starmer addressed the nation this morning. The Prime Minister said he knew attacker Axel Rudakubana had previously been referred to the Prevent counter-extremism programme but that the information was not made public due to fears it could prejudice a potential trial.
