Patrick Christys shared his thoughts on Keir Starmer’s comments about the Southport incident, and he didn’t hold back.
“I think people no longer trust Keir Starmer,” Christys said. He criticized the Prime Minister’s press conference, calling it “appalling.”
Christys argued that while Starmer used terms like “far-right thuggery,” he was fully aware that Axel Rudakubana had a jihadi terror training manual, a biological weapon in his home, and a history of violence.
Starmer admitted, “Yes, I knew the details as they were emerging. That’s standard practice in such cases, but it wouldn’t have been right to disclose those details.”
To Christys, this explanation doesn’t add up. He questioned why Starmer appeared to downplay Islamist links while knowing the perpetrator’s background. “If revealing this information in July would have prejudiced the trial, why was it fine for the police to share it in October?” Christys asked. “It just doesn’t make sense.”
When Christopher Hope, GB News Political Editor, asked Starmer if he regretted blaming the “far-right” for protests, Starmer deflected, saying, “Responsibility for the violence lies with those who committed it. I was in Southport the day after these terrible murders, thanking the frontline police and ambulance teams.”
For Christys, this response showed Starmer wouldn’t have handled things any differently. “Knowing what we know now, he wouldn’t change a thing,” Christys said.
His conclusion? Public trust in Starmer has been shattered. Christys questioned whether Starmer would choose transparency over hiding the truth to avoid stoking racial tensions.
“This needs an inquiry,” Christys stated. “But how can we trust him to tell the truth when it matters?”
