The tragic murder of student Henry Nowak in Southampton last year has been seized upon as a cause celebre by the far right – even though Henry's father Mark said he didn’t want the incident to be used to create further hatred, division or tension. Police handcuffed Henry as he lay dying, following false claims by his killer Vickram Digwa that he had been the victim of a racist attack.
Amid claims of 'two tier policing', Stephen Yaxley Lennon (aka Tommy Robinson) spoke at a protest this week in which 11 officers were injured. Nigel Farage called for ‘pure cold rage’ in response to Henry’s death.

Is Birmingham the UK’s most ungovernable city? And what does the
recent election tell is about politics in this country more widely?
In the recent elections, when the entire Council was up, Labour lost control, winning just 17 seats of the 101 seats; Reform emerged as the largest party with 23 with the Greens coming second with 19 seats…
So no party has a majority; Reform has acknowledged that it won’t
find enough coalition partners; Labour has said it wants time to reflect on the result and rebuild trust with voters, making a partnership between The Greens,Lib Dems and a block of mostly pro Gaza independents the likeliest coalition to run Britain’s biggest local authority.
It sounds like a recipe for chaos in a city where bin workers
have been on strike for more than a year…
Adrian Goldberg hears from Mike Olley a former Labour councillor who runs the Midlands Grit substack and Corinne Fowler, a newly elected Green councillor in the city…
