Starmer in the Southport Spotlight

HMICFRS report confirms the Prime Minister misled people and perhaps prejudiced trials.

Two days ago, His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Fire and Rescue Services (HMICFRS) published part two of its rapid review into the police response to the 2024 Southport unrest.

The findings are damning, confirming that Sir Keir Starmer misled the public.

Commissioned by Home Secretary Yvette Cooper last year, the review examined how police handled online content, intelligence gathering, and post-riot investigations.

Part one, released last December, assessed the operational capability of police forces to respond to disorder. Part two focused on the causes.

To go back to the beginning:

On August 4th, 2024, while protests and riots were still ongoing, Starmer stood at the Downing Street podium and declared, “So no, I won’t shy away from calling it what it is… far right thuggery.”

It constituted one hell of an assumption, delivered before any trials, before most charges, and before any investigations had concluded.

And he wasn’t alone.
