Still picking up the pieces from an atrocity that has left an indelible mark on the town, Southport has now "changed" forever, its residents have said. While the sentencing of Axel Rudakubana for the murders of three children later to an extent concludes what could have been a much longer and more painful legal process,

Sir Keir Starmer said the UK faces a new threat from loners radicalised by viewing extreme violent content online.

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.
