DEVELOPING: Keir Starmer Launches Urgent Probe into MI5 Over Alleged False Evidence

Breaking News: Keir Starmer Launches Urgent Probe into MI5 Over Alleged False Evidence Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has ordered a new investigation into how MI5 provided false evidence to three courts about conversations with the BBC. The inquiry, directed by Investigatory Powers Commissioner Sir Brian Leveson, follows requests from the High Court and Investigatory Powers Tribunal. The case centers on a neo-Nazi state informant known as Agent X who used his MI5 role to coerce his girlfriend, whom he attacked with a machete. In February, the BBC revealed that MI5 had lied to three courts about conversations with the informant. Sir Keir Starmer has stated that the relevant courts will use the outcome of this investigation to determine their next steps in relation to the case of Agent X. The prime minister noted that the courts have found serious procedural deficiencies in MI5's investigations into the false evidence. The new inquiry is expected to shed light on how MI5 handled the case and whether there were any systemic failures within the agency. This development comes as a significant step towards addressing concerns over the use of false evidence by law enforcement agencies.
