No 10 said Starmer was “shocked by the scenes at the rally” in Pennsylvania, where one man was killed and others injured as the former president was left bleeding and rushed to safety. Trump later posted on social media that he was “fine” after he was “shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear.”to send his best wishes to Trump. “Political violence in any form has no place in our societies and my thoughts are with all the victims of this attack,” he wrote on X.
“The narrative that is put out there about Trump by the liberals that oppose him is so nasty, so unpleasant, that I think it almost encourages this type of behaviour.” Farage, who had milkshake and wet cement thrown at him during the election campaign, said it was making it harder for politicians to meet voters, telling the BBC: “The problem with this is, how do you go out and campaign?
“And we are back again having that conversation about what democracy looks like, what our politics looks like,” she told the BBC. “We have got to have that conversation about what a civilised democracy looks like.
