State failing to learn lessons of Southport attack, say victims’ lawyers
Victims' lawyers accuse the state of failing to address systemic failures that allowed violent teenagers to pose a 'catastrophic' threat, following the July 2024 Southport attack. An inquiry led by Judge Sir Adrian Fulford is expected to criticize multiple agencies, including the counter-terrorism programme Prevent, for their role in the incident.
