Prime Minister Keir Starmer says the killing of three young girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class must lead to “fundamental change” in how the British state protects citizens.

By Sachin Ravikumar and Elizabeth Piper LONDON (Reuters) -UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer vowed on Tuesday to "leave no stone unturned" to uncover failings by the state in preventing the killings of three girls at a Taylor Swift-themed event,

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has said the failure of state institutions in the case of child-killer Axel Rudakubana “frankly leaps off the page”. The 18-year-old pleaded guilty on Monday to murdering three girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport, Merseyside, in July.

Keir Starmer has denied engaging in a cover-up to prevent the public knowing about Southport killer Axel Rudakubana’s background in the aftermath of his murderous rampage. The prime minister insisted he was following “the law of the land” to avoid the possibility of the case against the 18-year-old collapsing and him then being able to walk free.

The murder of three young girls in Southport last July shows that Britain faces a new type of terrorism threat in the form of extreme violence perpetrated by loners who were inspired online, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Tuesday.

SIR Keir Starmer has said the Southport killings “must be a line in the sand for Britain”. The Prime Minister addressed the nation on Tuesday morning, after Axel Rudakubana, 18, pleaded guilty on Monday to murdering three girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class last July.
