Coffee House Shots Why wasn’t the Southport killer stopped?
Jan 21, 2025
Danny Shaw, a former advisor to Yvette Cooper, discusses the tragic Southport knife attack and the systemic failures that allowed the perpetrator, already flagged for radicalization, to slip through the cracks. He examines the political fallout, including Keir Starmer’s promise for a public inquiry, and addresses claims of a cover-up. The conversation also delves into the challenges of balancing transparency in high-profile cases amid legal constraints, and the need for reform in intervention strategies for at-risk youth to prevent future violence.
