Michelle Dewberry has claimed that she is "heartbroken" over the Southport stabbings and asked, "What is our society coming to."

Police recovered a knife after an attack at a community centre where a Taylor Swift-themed dance and yoga event for primary school-aged children was taking place.

Speaking on GB News Dewberry said: "What on earth is our society coming to? I'm brokenhearted about it and I'm absolutely furious about it as well.

"It makes me fearful as a parent, and it just makes me step back and ask the question. The broader question is about what on earth is this society becoming.

"We're talking and we're expanding the conversation as it's quite right to do in the absence of facts at this moment in time, we're expanding that conversation about the war on drugs and so on.

"I'm sorry, but I am going to also raise another aspect. And to be clear, I'm not suggesting that this was the motive here. But what about all of this immigration, illegal immigration into this country?

"We are seemingly importing a lot of people that don't have the same values as many of us. We often import people who don't value women, for example, in the same way that many other people do.

And that is often a factor that's never really, truly discussed. What do you think about that?"
