Keir Starmer has suggested the US is trying to interfere in British democracy after JD Vance, the US vice-president, blamed the murder of the British teenager Henry Nowak on mass migration.

The prime minister’s office responded after the senior Republican politician claimed in a post on X that Nowak would be alive “if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it”.

Downing Street did not name Vance directly but said its response to his comments was that “in recent days we have seen people trying to interfere in our democracy and seeking to stir up division on our streets”.

JD doesn't let a good chance of promoting the great replacement theory go to waste.

I mean it is factually real. Millions of migrants with completely different cultural values are coming to europe, usually don't bother with integration, and since they have higher birthrates than the native population it results in the percentage of the native population shrinking. It's just maths.

And if that's not enough, look at schools. See how many kids are from migrants and compare this to 20-30 years ago. It is an undeniable trend. In big cities it is not uncommon for the native kids to be the minority in the classroom. I really can't understand how this is not a huge reason for concern, as this just fosters the forming of massive parallel societies. Especially the left should be concerned, since most of those migrants come from Islamic countries where women are not seen as equal, where gays are being stoned and antisemitism is on a level nearly comparable to that of the Nazis.
