Chris Phillips is the former Head of the National Counter Terrorism Security Office. He gives Shelagh Fogarty some insight into the breaking news coming out of Southport.

‘One child is dead’ and others have been injured after a mass stabbing at ‘Taylor Swift-themed’ summer holiday club. At least eight people have been stabbed, with dozens of police officers at the scene.

The victims have been taken to three hospitals, including Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Merseyside.

A man has been arrested and a knife has been seized.

Police, fire and ambulance crews rushed to Hart Street at around midday, and a major emergency services presence remains at the scene.

    Here we go again Shelagh, are you going to be as wrong and biased on this one as you were about the Manchester airport scumbags??

  • @VALLANCEGAMING
    One child confirmed dead but still no news on the description of the man, we know why
  • We know the perpetrator isn’t white British because if he was it would be everywhere but the lack of reporting is shocking given the severity and horror of this unthinkable crime.. prayers for the victims and their families.. just heartbreaking!!
  • @ThePainterr
    The fact that they describe him as a "man" only tells you all you need to know......tsk tsk
  • @yamyam3905
    LBC won't say who did it . O'brien will be protecting him tomorrow.
  • NYT reports 1 girl dead and 7 others stabbed at a kids dance event. UK still not able to describe the attacker.
  • @alfaV6boy1
    She says children are attacked at home yet we are more horrified by this? Well yeah obviously, its a random person walking into a kids club and stabbing them, as terrible as kids being beaten by their parents is, this is rightly far more shocking as it means we all have to be scared to drop are kids off anywhere.....
  • @NotALot-xm6gz
    I’m betting it wasn’t a Sikh, Buddhist, Jehovah’s Witness or Scientologist who did this.
