JD Vance blames UK student murder on mass migration, prompting British government rebuke.

US Vice President JD Vance posted on X that the murder of Henry Nowak, an 18-year-old white student who was handcuffed by police as he lay dying from stab wounds, was caused by 'the mass invasion of migrants' and 'politics of self-hatred' among European elites. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's office criticized those 'trying to interfere in our democracy,' and Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy told Vance in a phone call that he was wrong to link the killing to immigration, noting the killer was British. The case has been seized on by anti-immigration activists and far-right figures in the UK.
