Britain faces a new threat of terrorism from “extreme violence carried out by loners, misfits, young men in their bedrooms” following the Southport murders, the Prime Minister has said
In an address from Downing Street Kier Starmer 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
He added that said the failure of state institutions in the case of child-killer Axel Rudakubana “frankly leaps off the page”
Tougher laws could be needed to regulate the “nightmares of the online world”, he said after it emerged Axel Rudakubana trawled the internet for extreme violent content before the Southport atrocity
