UK Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy has directly challenged US Vice President JD Vance over comments linking the murder of British teenager Henry Nowak to mass migration, telling him he was 'wrong' during a phone call on Saturday. Lammy said he pushed back against Vance's public statements, insisting the killer was British-born and that the case had 'nothing to do with mass migration', highlighting growing strain between London and Washington over how the tragedy is framed.
In an interview with Sky News and BBC Laura K, Lammy revealed he had spoken directly to Vance the previous day. 'I spoke to him yesterday and I told him he was wrong,' he said. 'This has got nothing to do with mass migration... the young man who perpetrated this crime was a Brit born and raised in this country.'
