Starmer accuses Farage of inciting rage in wake of Southampton riot Submitted by Oscar Rickett on Wed, 06/03/2026 - 15:15 Prime minister tells Reform UK leader he is ignoring wishes of family of murdered 18-year-old Henry Nowak Reform UK leader Nigel Farage speaks in parliament on 3 June 2026 (Screenshot) Off British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has accused Reform UK leader Nigel Farage of ignoring the wishes of a murdered 18-year-old boy’s family by calling for “rage” in response to his death. Starmer’s comments, delivered in parliament on Wednesday, came after a riot on Tuesday night in Southampton, a city on England’s south coast, which saw far-right protesters and known neo-Nazis clash with police. The riot was sparked in part by inflammatory rhetoric in response to the case of Henry Nowak, 18, who was stabbed to death in Southampton in December last year by Vickrum Digwa, a 23-year-old British Sikh man.
