Sir Keir Starmer addressed the changing landscape of terrorism in Britain, emphasizing a newly emerging threat of extreme violence from isolated individuals. Following the tragic murders of three children by Axel Rudakubana, who had been previously flagged for anti-extremism programs, a government inquiry was launched. Prime Minister and Home Secretary acknowledged systemic failings in addressing how such individuals can access weapons like knives online, emphasizing the need for a review of the Prevent program and potential legal reforms to combat rising youth violence and extremism effectively.
The inquiry will delve into failings of the state and examine if our counter-extremist systems need reform, in light of a new violent threat.
Sir Keir Starmer emphasized, 'if the law needs to change, it will,' highlighting the urgency to address rising youth violence and extremism.
