Keir Starmer has suggested the US is trying to interfere in British democracy after JD Vance, the US vice-president, blamed the murder of the British teenager Henry Nowak on mass migration.

The prime minister’s office responded after the senior Republican politician claimed in a post on X that Nowak would be alive “if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it”.

Downing Street did not name Vance directly but said its response to his comments was that “in recent days we have seen people trying to interfere in our democracy and seeking to stir up division on our streets”.

    Americans are so lucky not to have any murders or incompetent police officers. They should tell Brits how they did it.

    Ah yes the Great Democracy that has banned peaceful protest if it “causes a disturbance”. The one that bans entry to any person with a political opinion the government does not like. The one that [checks news] revoked the licence of a doctor for two years in response to her participation in a peaceful protest…

      As much as I agree that he’s a useless waste of oxygen this isn’t actually his fault is it? The policing policy that the conservatives are complaining about was implemented by, drum roll please, the conservatives.

      They are once again whining about their own decisions. There’s a reason that Badenoch didn’t bring this up in PMQ’s.

        Yes, but I think radical reforms have been needed since he took office haven’t happened. They’ve gone backwards in some cases.

        He has also broken ten of his election promises, IIRC. So I’m basically saying that when a laggard like himself complains, it has less credibility.

      He took Netanyahu’s dick out of his mouth long enough to speak on the subject. That’s a lot for this spoiled head of cabbage

    Mass migration isn’t the problem, the problem is lack of oversight into what kind of people are coming into civilised countries, anyone that can so simply stab someone, lie to let them die shouldn’t have ever been allowed to come into the UK or any other country that has proper human rights against murder and rape, but these people aren’t educated and are incapable of integrating, so they shouldn’t be allowed entry.

    Proper oversight is needed so people that are actually interested in a better life can be given that chance and those that seek chaos should stay home.

      So you agree that we should be processing the asylum requests and then coming to a decision as soon as possible rather than simply leaving everybody in a state of limbo in some random hotel?

      As always, your racist take shows that you don’t actually know anything about the subject matter.
