## Resource

The murder of Henry Nowak has ignited fierce political debate, with Deputy PM David Lammy defending the UK’s justice system amid claims from US VP JD Vance linking the crime to migrant influxes. Lammy counters with data showing falling murder rates, while Harriet Harman pushes for ending religious knife exemptions, citing the ceremonial dagger used. Trevor Phillips voices public anger, rejecting political hand-wringing, and Kemi Badenoch warns against “rage as strategy,” urging institutional accountability over identity politics. Meanwhile, defense spending delays raise alarms among MPs, undermining national security and global credibility — all as Zelenskyy visits London amid mounting domestic tensions.
