Sir Keir Starmer has accused Nigel Farage of “creating division” after the Reform UK leader described Henry Nowak’s murder as an example of “two-tier” policing.

The Prime Minister, who earlier today dismissed claims of “two-tier justice”, said: “I think Nigel Farage’s reaction is the wrong reaction.

“And I start my answer to your question through the eyes of the family.

“They have said they do not want this whipped up.

“They have been through the most extraordinary, awful experience.

“They don’t want this whipped up. And Nigel Farage is completely wrong to use this to try and create division.

“He would be wrong in any circumstances, but when Henry’s family are saying, ‘Please don’t do that, it’s our son’, then really, as politicians, as human beings, we should start when they start.”
