Starmer slams Farage over response to Henry Nowak murder – what he said

Stay up to date with notifications from The IndependentNotifications can be managed in browser preferences.AllNewsSportCultureLifestyleSir Keir Starmer has strongly criticised Reform UK leader Nigel Farage for his "unforgivable" response to the murder of Henry Nowak, accusing him of exploiting the tragedy for division. Farage refused to condemn violent protests in Southampton, which injured 11 police officers and a police dog, after he called for "pure cold rage" in response to Nowak's death. The Prime Minister echoed Henry Nowak's father's plea not to exploit his son's murder to incite hatred, stating that Farage's appeal for "rage" was wrong, especially given the family's wishes. Vickrum Digwa, 23, was sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering 18-year-old Henry Nowak, who was handcuffed while dying after Digwa falsely claimed racial abuse. An officer involved in the incident has resigned after footage showed police handcuffing Nowak as he lay dying, a scene Sir Keir Starmer described as making him "sick".
