"Reform UK leader Nigel Farage lashed PM Sir Keir Starmer, saying it was 'clear to millions of people we're living under two-tier policing' as the row grew over the murder of Henry Nowak, during a session of the House of Commons in London on Wednesday. "It is now clear to growing millions in this country that we're living under two-tier policing. The instructions that are given to police officers from police bosses are clear and written down in ink," he said. "It says you must treat different ethnic groups in different ways. That, apart from the upset and the anger at the circumstances of his death, the anger that you saw spilling out in Southampton last night. and which is in danger of getting considerably worse if the public lose trust in being treated fairly by the police." Starmer hit back: "I don't believe there's two-tier policing in this country. I'm really shocked that he pretends to have respect for Henry's family and then acts in this way." 11 police officers were injured during violent clashes in Southampton on Tuesday as protests escalated. Earlier that day, shocking bodycam from Hampshire and Isle of Wight Police was released showing the dying Henry Nowak telling UK cops "I can't breathe" and "I've been stabbed" - and cops replying "I don't think you have mate" - before handcuffing him following false claims of racism made by his murderer. The incident took place in Southampton last December. 23-year-old Vickrum Digwa was sentenced to life with a minimum of 21 years this week for murder. He carried out the attack with a 21cm blade he said he carried as part of his Sikh faith. Farage - whose party is currently topping the polls - said Nowak "was actually treated in a way that meant an accusation of a racial slur was treated more seriously than an act of murder". US tech billionaire Elon Musk said the British government "helped murder this poor English boy", calling the police actions "unconscionable" and saying he would fund legal action. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Police and Crime Commissioner Donna Jones called for an "urgent review on the carrying of bladed articles for religious and ceremonial purposes" "It was a stressful situation, but mistakes were made and that needs to be uncovered. My job is not to be here to defend the police, my job is to ensure the police are doing what they should be doing," she added."
