Keir Starmer has said the Southport killings by teenager Axel Rudakubana 'must be a line in the sand for Britain' and there must be “fundamental change” in how the country protects its children. It comes as the government said they will undertake an inquiry into the 'barbaric' murders of three young girls at a Taylor Swift dance class last year.

The Prime Minister has defended his actions after he was blasted with accusations of being part of a Southport "cover-up" while he admitted knowing details of the attack. His statement has followed his earlier admission that the British state failed the three girls who had been brutally murdered by Axel Rudakubana at a Taylor Swift dance class

Axel Rudakubana was referred three times to anti-extremism programme Prevent before he carried out the attack that left three girls dead.
