PM: Southport attack shows 'terrorism has changed'
Prime Minister Keir Starmer has said Britain faces a "new and dangerous threat" in light of the Southport attack in July 2024.
Speaking a day after Axel Rudakubana, 18, pleaded guilty to murdering three young girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class, Starmer warned of the rising threat of 'extreme violence perpetrated by loners, misfits, young men accessing all manner of material'.
The Prime Minister added that he would change the law if needed to tackle this new threat.

Sir Keir Starmer says a stabilised economy has allowed the government to reinstate most winter fuel payments. Nine million pensioners in England and Wales will now receive support this winter after a £1.25bn U-turn. The Prime Minister denied the move was a response to backlash, insisting it followed a reassessment of the country’s financial position. Report by Covellm.

The Government has pledged £5 million for a renovation project in memory of the three young girls murdered in Southport. Sir Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner met the parents of Elsie Dot Stancombe, Alice da Silva Aguiar and Bebe King in Downing Street on Tuesday. The Town Hall gardens in Southport will be renovated in their memory, a project the families have said is “rooted in love, resilience and unity”. Report by Covellm.

Sir Keir Starmer promised there would be no more “dithering” about backing nuclear power as the Government committed to the Sizewell C plant. The prime minister said the “change of mindset” would help free the UK from reliance on international fossil fuel markets and prevent price spikes such as those in the wake of Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Speaking at a college in Ipswich, Sir Keir said: “No more dithering, no more delay, no more being unclear about what we’re going to do, a real statement of intent as we go forward.” Report by Covellm.

Kemi Badenoch welcomed the winter fuel payment U-turn, insisting it should have happened sooner. Speaking on Monday, the Conservative party leader said: "I'm glad the government has finally done this but what took them so long? I asked Keir Starmer six times at the despatch box at PMQ's why he was doing this and that he needed to reverse it."

Nigel Farage has accused authorities of a “cover-up” following the 2024 Southport stabbing. The Reform UK leader said public anger was fuelled by withheld information, calling it an example of “two-tier policing.” He argued that clearer details about the attacker could have prevented riots and criticised how emotional online reactions were handled.

There was no evidence of "two-tier policing" in the police's handling of riots that erupted after last year's Southport murders, a new report by MPs has found. The report by the Home Affairs Committee, published on Monday, examined the police response to disorder that broke out following the stabbings in July last year. Commenting on the findings, former Metropolitan Police chief Dal Babu said there are "some lessons for the police to learn particularly around how they deal with social media". Report by Kennedyl.

Emperor penguins, the largest of their kind, are facing a growing threat as shrinking sea ice puts their future at risk. The birds rely on stable ice for up to eight months to raise their chicks, but as the Southern Ocean warms, that vital platform is melting too quickly. Scientists are alarmed by satellite data, which shows a sharp decline in colony numbers, with some areas disappearing twice as fast as predicted just seven years ago. Storms, changing weather and predators like orca whales are also contributing to their decline. Report by Covellm.
