The recent attack on Sir Keir Starmer’s property has rightly sparked outrage across the political spectrum. Whether you support him or not, violence against any elected official is a line no one should be crossing. It’s not just about Starmer—MPs from all parties now regularly face threats, abuse, and sometimes even physical danger. After two MPs have been murdered in just over a decade, every incident like this sends a chill.
But while everyone agrees these attacks are unacceptable, the way the authorities are responding this time is raising a few eyebrows. The quick move to link the incident to terrorism and “hostile states” feels like a very different playbook to what we saw in Southport last year, reported the Express.
