Lammy says he told JD Vance his Nowak comments were 'wrong'

Article excerpt

Foreign Secretary David Lammy said he confronted US Vice President JD Vance over comments linking a teenager's murder to mass migration, telling him the remarks were "wrong." Vance had suggested the killing of 17-year-old Brianna Ghey in Cheshire was connected to immigration policy. Lammy stated the murder "has got nothing to do with mass migration," pushing back on the American official's politicization of the case. The exchange highlights tensions between the UK government and the Trump administration over how to characterize crime and its causes.
