18:12Now PlayingThe UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, said the UK faces a "new threat" after the Southport murders, and that "terrorism has changed".
This comes after Axel Rudakubana, 18, pleaded guilty to murdering three girls in a knife attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class last year.
Starmer said the threat comes from "extreme violence carried out by loners, misfits, young men in their bedrooms" and that the state's failure to prevent Rudakubana's murders "leaps off the page".
After the violent events in Southport, riots erupted across the UK, with some social media posts wrongly claiming that Rudakubana, who was born in Cardiff, was actually an asylum seeker.
