Online platforms must act now to remove violent content viewed by the Southport killer to prevent further attacks, Chancellor Rachel Reeves has told the BBC.
Her comments on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg come after the home secretary wrote to X, Meta, TikTok, Google and YouTube saying the ease of access to violent material was unacceptable.
The 18-year-old was sentenced to a minimum of 52 years in jail last week for murdering three young girls and attempting to murder 10 other people, including eight children.
The government has announced a public inquiry will take place into the missed opportunities to stop him.
Searches of the killer’s home uncovered material which suggested an obsession with violence, including the academic study of an al-Qaeda training manual downloaded from the internet.
Reeves told the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg: “It is totally unacceptable the fact that the killer, before he went on to commit those horrific crimes, was able to access – really easily – on some of the online platforms such hateful material.”
