UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s office on Friday denounced “people trying to interfere in our democracy” after US Vice President JD Vance condemned Britain’s handling of the murder of a white student, Henry Nowak, by a Sikh man.
The Downing Street statement followed comments by Vance on X linking the young student’s murder to what he said was civilisational decline caused by mass migration.
“In recent days we have seen people trying to interfere in our democracy and seeking to stir up division on our streets,” a spokesperson for Starmer’s Downing Street office said in a statement.
