The British arm of Charlie Kirk's campaign group accused Deputy PM David Lammy last night of 'fuelling violent rhetoric' against Right-wing figures.

Mr Kirk, 31, a father of two, was shot dead during an event at Utah Valley University on Wednesday in what authorities called a political assassination.

Yesterday, there was widespread fury at Left-wingers who celebrated the death of Mr Kirk and used it to score political points.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer paid tribute to the conservative activist on X shortly after his death, saying: 'It is heartbreaking that a young family has been robbed of a father and a husband.

'We must all be free to debate openly and freely without fear – there can be no justification for political violence.'
