Nigel Farage refuses to apologise for comments on Southport killer | LBC

Tom Swarbrick speaks to Reform UK's Nigel Farage following last week's killings in Southport.

Nigel Farage refuses to apologise for the social media posts he made in the hours after three girls were killed in Southport.

The Reform UK leader has defended asking questions about the background of a 17-year-old suspect who appeared in court last week charged with murder and attempted murder.

Farage took to X in the hours after the attack and questioned whether the attacker was known to the police.

“Some reports suggest the attacker was known to the security services,” Farage said at the time.

Speaking to LBC’s Tom Swarbrick, Mr Farage refused to apologise for sharing this suggestion, which some claim has fueled the last week’s violent riots.
