The prime minister was met with hostility by some members of the public while placing a floral tribute in Southport after several children were stabbed. Three children have so far died in the attack and several others are in critical condition. Hundreds of floral tributes were laid outside the building where the children were attending a dance workshop. A few members of the public shouted towards Starmer before he drove away, asking 'is there anything you are going to do?'. The prime minister told Sky News, he was 'very worried' about high levels of knife crime and was 'determined' his government tackle the issue
