There was never enough spotlight on the murder of Rhiannon Whyte. Totally innocent, she died from 23 stab wounds at the hands of an illegal Sudanese migrant who had been in our country for just three months.
Her story was beyond upsetting, not only for her family but for the whole nation. A stark example of what happens when you have an open borders policy that allows the violent and deranged to wash up on our shores.
What is clear is that our Prime Minister doesn’t share that view. How do I know? In an interview in the Daily Telegraph at the weekend, Siobhan Whyte, mother of 27-year-old Rhiannon, reveals she wrote to Starmer twice asking for a meeting, and neither time did he bother to reply.
Not a handwritten note saying how he wept for her loss, not a suggestion that he shared her pain and would arrange for her to come to No.10 so he might ‘’explain’’ what he was doing to keep the number of Channel migrants down.
Nothing.
And you know why. Starmer would not have looked at Siobhan as somebody who would not be helpful to him politically. The old soap wouldn’t work on a mother who had lost her child because he wouldn’t do the right thing and push back the boats.
So, he ducked out. An act of total cowardice. Would he have done the same thing had the victim been of a different religion or a different colour? I have my doubts.
Starmer had no right to ignore her letters. Her grief deserves to be acknowledged by a man who speaks for the nation.
I can’t be sure, but being a mum with five children from the Walsall area of the West Midlands, I suspect that until her daughter was murdered by Sudanese migrant Deng Majek, she would have been a Labour voter.
Not now for sure. As Siobahn says in her Telegraph interview: ‘’Starmer wants to go out there and apologise to Epstein’s victims, but I don’t care. What about our women and children? What about my daughter?
‘’What about our grandson who’s got to grow up without a mother?’’

The grandson is being raised by Rhiannon’s sister. Thank God for the family.
You may remember the court case. Rhiannon was working in an asylum hotel 18 months ago when Majek arrived. For a reason never explained, he attacked her one night on a Walsall train station platform. He used a screwdriver to stab her to death.
Majek claimed he was only 19, as that would mean he would have received a lesser sentence. The judge was having none of it, saying he was between 25-28 and jailed him for 29 years. Under this Government, that will probably mean he’ll be out on Wednesday.
Asked what message she would have for Starmer had he the decency or courtesy to see her, she said; ‘’I would want to know why he’s still allowing the migrants in.
He’s allowing them to take over the country, and, in the meantime, they’ve taken my daughter. So I blame him for that’’.
The Telegraph raised the fact that Starmer hadn’t bothered to respond to the government. And they got a junior Home Office minister to email Siobahn offering his ‘’deepest condolences’’. Did he mean that? Or was he taking instructions from No.10?
I’m certain you can make up your own mind. What I am certain of is that a woman drowning in grief due to Government policy should be welcome in Downing Street.
The fact that her letters are not even acknowledged is a disgrace. And this hopeless and heartless Government only reacted when a spotlight was put on their actions.
The sooner they are slung out, the better.
