PM backs police to 'keep streets safe' from 'thugs' who 'sow hate' - as home secretary issues warning
Saturday, 3 August 2024 () Sir Keir Starmer has told the police they have ministers' full backing to take "all necessary action to keep our streets safe" from "thugs" who "sow hate" as violent protests erupted across the UK following the stabbing of three girls in Southport.
Sir Keir Starmer has said he is “shocked and appalled” after Huw Edwards admitted to accessing indecent images of children. Edwards, previously the BBC’s highest-paid newsreader, admitted three charges of making indecent photographs after he was sent 41 illegal images by convicted paedophile Alex Williams, with seven being of the most serious type.
