Britain faces a new threat of terrorism from “extreme violence carried out by loners, misfits, young men in their bedrooms”, the Prime Minister has said. The Prime Minister spoke in the wake of the Southport murders by Axel Rudakubana, 18, who pleaded guilty on Monday to murdering three girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in July.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Tuesday that the Southport knife attack last July was a sign that the country faces a new type of terrorism threat in the form of extreme violence perpetrated by loners.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Tuesday pledged to fight the changing face of "terrorism" after a teenager admitted the murder of three young girls in a stabbing spree that triggered riots last year.

Sir Keir Starmer says Britain faces new terror threats from “loners, misfits and young men in their bedrooms” following the Southport murders.
