The murder of Henry Nowak has sparked violent protests, this one near Portswood Police Station, Southampton.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's office has 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.
