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

Summary

After US Vice President JD Vance attributed British teenager Henry Nowak's murder to mass migration, Prime Minister Keir Starmer's office accused the US of attempting to interfere in British democracy. Vance, a senior Republican, had posted on X that Nowak would be alive if European elites had resisted immigration policies. Starmer's response frames the US politician's comments as foreign meddling in domestic UK affairs, escalating tensions over how the teenager's death is being characterized and politicized across the Atlantic.
