Keir Starmer is set to speak on the Southport attack inquiry, addressing claims of a cover-up and the government’s response to the incident.
The shadow home secretary, Chris Philp, has been vocal about how the government might have held back information about the attacker, Axel Rudakubana. He’s pushing for the inquiry to dig deep into what happened before and after the attack.
Starmer’s press conference is happening soon, and he’s likely to defend the government’s actions. He’ll probably mention that releasing too much info could have messed with the legal process.
There’s been a lot of chatter about this, especially from Reform UK’s Nigel Farage, who’s been adamant about a cover-up. Meanwhile, Kemi Badenoch from the Conservatives hinted that the government might not have shared enough info.
Today’s agenda is packed, with Starmer leading the charge on this inquiry. It’s a crucial moment for UK politics, and everyone’s watching closely to see how it unfolds.
