11.09.2025 ⇢ The day of Charlie Kirk's killer manhunt and Mandelson's sacking
⌨
The extensive coverage of Charlie Kirk's assassination, which began the previous day, continued to dominate UK media. Early reports focused on the release of two suspects and the ongoing manhunt for the killer. Donald Trump attributed the killing to the 'radical left.' By mid-morning, a new significant development emerged with the sacking of US Ambassador Lord Mandelson by Keir Starmer, following further revelations of emails related to Jeffrey Epstein. This event quickly became a major focus, creating a domestic political crisis for Starmer. In the afternoon, the FBI confirmed the discovery of the rifle used in Kirk's killing and released images of a 'college-age' person of interest, intensifying the manhunt. The day concluded with reports of law enforcement identifying a person of interest.
