At a press conference in Downing Street, the prime minister said “fear is an understandable reaction” to the attack, but called on everyone to give families the space to grieve and authorities time to do their job.

“There will be a time for questions and we will make sure that the victims and families are at the heart of that process,” he said.

Starmer is probably Britain’s most left-wing PM since Clement Atlee. God help them.

The government and police are accomplices in the migrant violence.

Remember that he’s PM only through manipulation of the system (just like Macron in France).

I honestly don’t know how the Brits can stand it. And where is Charles?

I think the same thing was said in the United States after the terrorist attack on 9/11.
