Still picking up the pieces from an atrocity that has left an indelible mark on the town, Southport has now "changed" forever, its residents have said. While the sentencing of Axel Rudakubana for the murders of three children later to an extent concludes what could have been a much longer and more painful legal process,

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.

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.
