Prime minister is holding a press conference on the newly-called Southport inquiry

Keir Starmer is speaking now.

He says the Southport attack was “a devastating moment in our history”.

Prevent will look at individuals who come across their radar, and then counter-terrorism police will be asking themselves, ‘is this the sort of person who we ought to help, given our terrorism remit?’

You’ll sometimes get cases where counter-terrorism police will say, ‘ultimately, we just don’t think we can say this guy’s on the trajectory to becoming a terrorist, and so he’s not for us’.

What you’ll often find with people who are obsessed by violence is that they will commit some crimes along the way, so, for example, this man, Axel Rudakubana, in 2021 had this terrorist manual.

That was an offence. If that could have been detected earlier, then that would be a way of what the authorities in my world, in the terrorism world, called disruption.
