Starmer suggests US ‘trying to interfere in our democracy’ over Nowak claims

Prime minister's office responds after JD Vance blames British teenager's death on mass migration

• How Britain was rocked by Henry Nowak's murder - and why the US intervened

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".
