UK Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy says he spoke by phone with US vice-president JD Vance after Vance made comments about the murder of British teenager Henry Nowak. Several outlets report that Lammy told Vance that his remarks were wrong and that the killing “has got nothing to do with mass migration.” The comments attributed to Vance include partial blame for Nowak’s death on what he described as a “mass invasion of migrants,” alongside language calling for “righteous anger” regarding the case. Lammy’s office says the issue was migration being linked to the murder, and that Lammy challenged Vance in a “robust” call. Lammy also characterizes the exchange as evidence that the UK’s “democratic process is working well.” Reporting across sources indicates the phone call took place on Saturday. The outlets agree on the central point: Lammy disputes Vance’s public framing of the case and says the migration link is inaccurate and unhelpful. No sources provided additional detail on the investigation’s findings or on any official US follow-up beyond Lammy’s comments about the call.
