21 Jan 2025
EMBARGO: Immediate Release
Commenting after Starmer's press conference following the government's announcement of an inquiry into the Southport murders, Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey said:
"The Liberal Democrats welcome this inquiry, which must not shy away from asking tough questions about what went wrong.
"This was an utterly horrific tragedy. My thoughts go out to the bereaved families, who lost three young daughters to such brutal violence. We need to ensure that such a senseless attack cannot happen again.
"We must learn from these events, and the inquiry must urgently get us the answers we need to avoid future failures."
