Keir Starmer heckled on visit to Southport knife attack scene

Published 2024-07-30
This was the moment Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer was heckled on a visit to Southport as he laid tributes to those killed in a stabbing attack on Monday.

The PM visited the seaside town on Tuesday and thanked emergency service workers, telling them: “I hope you feel proud of the part that you played in the most difficult circumstances, to do what you could for those young lives.”

He laid down his wreath and stood momentarily in silence, but more than one person shouted: “How many more Starmer? When are you going to do something?”

Three girls who were killed at a Taylor Swift-themed holiday club have been named by police, as families paid tribute to their “little girl” and “princess”.

Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine, Bebe King, six, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, were all fatally stabbed in the incident in Southport, Merseyside, on Monday.

A 17-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, remains in custody accused of murder and attempted murder following the incident at the dance studio in Hart Street.

Eight other children suffered stab wounds and five are in a critical condition, alongside two adults who were also critically injured, police said.

    The aristocracy, the millionaires, need immigrants to work. Such a tragedy is none of their business. When will you start thinking? Political correctness is the enemy of freedom!.!.!
  • They did their job Keir of protecting and rescuing people unlike the government who are throwing the children of this country under the bus.

    There is something repugnant in the sight of public officials doing this sort of thing when their collective behaviour is largely responsible for what is being witnessed now in this once famously peaceful and socially cohesive society.
  • Riots in Leeds, soldier stabbed in Kent, Policewoman punched in the face in Manchester Airport, mass brawl in the Peak District on Saturday and now three children killed in Southport all In the last month. We’ll probably go and cry in a field at a festival now rather than directing our anger at Government and demanding they get a grip on this. We are far too tolerant and permissive as a society and it is being seen as a weakness by our new arrivals. We have lost control of the quantity and quality of immigration and now we are seeing the results.
  • They can arrest and charge Tommy with terrorism when he has been calling this lot out. Filth.

    "got your photo, you're leaving now?" Politicians summed up in one sentence.
  • @ianspencer9142
    Crocodile tears and smarmy words that is all we ever get from politicians
  • @keithb2055
    Keir won't fix the problem because it's his kind that is causing the problem.
  • Starmer doesn't sound sincere, concerned or horrified. He just goes through the moves assigned by his PR team.
  • A Charade, get back to your billionaires, what a false face, couldn't give a dam about what's happened.
  • @mattdoliver1984
    Alice Dasilva Aguiar, nine, Bebe King, six, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven yet they still haven't officially named the killer
  • Why do the police say it is not a terrorist attack when you know and I know it is terror just ask the kids if they were terrified. Call it what it is terrorism. When will the goverenment stop these atrocities.
