Rachel Reeves has stated “no stone should be left unturned” within the Southport inquiry to cease something so “appalling” taking place once more.
“It is absolutely essential we learn lessons, not just to provide understanding for the families but to stop anything like this happening ever again,” she stated.
“No stone should be left unturned.”
Rudakubana was jailed for all times with a minimal of 52 years on Thursday after unexpectedly pleading responsible to homicide on what was meant to be the primary day of his trial.
He had been referred to the Stop anti-terror programme 3 times, admitted to carrying a knife into faculty a number of instances and attacked a boy in school with a hockey stick.

Ms Reeves added: “It’s appalling what happened in Southport and the evil, cowardly acts of that man.
“The affect can be felt without end by these households. And it is proper that there is now a public inquiry to ascertain what on earth went incorrect, that the person was referred 3 times to Stop, he had been discovered carrying a knife on a number of events and he’d attacked a boy he was in school with.
“And yet he was able to slip through the system.”
She stated she thinks the inquiry wants to ascertain what Stop regards as terror as a result of Rudakubana had no obvious ideology, which is why he was taken off Stop’s record.
“Just because you don’t have an ideological motive doesn’t mean that you can’t be a mass killer and incredibly dangerous,” the chancellor added.

Ms Reeves defended Sir Keir Starmer and different ministers for not revealing Rudakubana’s previous final summer time when the assault occurred.
“I think it’s really important that when a government speaks, when ministers speak about something before there’s been a trial, that people are very careful about the words that they use,” she stated.
“Because if a government of any colour added anything to prejudice a trial, then that minister would never be forgiven. And so ministers do have to use words with caution.”
Conservative chief Kemi Badenoch, who has two daughters an identical age to the three women killed, welcomed the Southport inquiry and stated the incident was “horrific”.
She advised Trevor Phillips it was “extremely surprising that so many state bodies were involved at one point”.
“Why is it that despite all of these schemes and all of these programmes that we put in place, previous governments, successive previous governments of all parties, certain people still slipped through the cracks?” she stated.

The Tory chief added she thinks the federal government wants to take a look at the “roots of where these behaviours come from, whether it is extremist ideology of whatever flavour, whether it’s religious or related to hate of a particular group or sex”.
“We need to start looking more at how we bring more people into society, integrate them across a whole range of issues,” she added.
