The Prime Minister’s Deputy Official Spokesman said:
“It is important that we let the police and CPS do their jobs and for a trial to establish the facts. Our focus is on ensuring that we get justice for the victims and their loved ones. We must let the police do their jobs and trial establish the facts. The government is focused on ensuring the families and all those affected see justice. First and foremost the Prime Minister’s thoughts are with those families and the communities. His thoughts remain firmly with them.”
Red Wall Labour backbencher Jonathan Brash told GB News that Starmer should resign:
“I’m completely fed up about it, and I think it’s got to the point now where I genuinely think that, as far as the Prime Minister is concerned, it’s not a case of if, it’s when.”
