United in grief, the community of Southport came together to offer each other support in the days and weeks after then-17-year-old Axel Rudakubana, armed with a knife, went on a "meticulously planned rampage" on 29 July.

After a teenager admitted murdering three girls at a dance class, Keir Starmer said people were being radicalized into violence for its own sake and terrorism laws might need to change.

Sir Keir said it was "clearly wrong" Rudakubana was deemed not to meet the threshold for intervention from the Prevent programme, and the Southport victims' families had been failed. The prime minister said the Southport attack "must be a line in the sand" and "nothing will be off the table" in the public inquiry.
