Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Reform UK leader Nigel Farage is "exploiting" the death of Henry Nowak to sow division in the country.
Farage told the House of Commons the circumstances around the 18-year-old's death show evidence of "two-tier policing" and that was what led to clashes between protesters and police in Southampton on Tuesday.
Starmer said Farage's response is "unforgivable" in the face of Nowak's family speaking out against his death being used to create division.
Other MPs heckled Farage as he spoke.
Nowak was killed in 2025 by Vickrum Digwa, who was sentenced to 21 years in jail, with police bodycam footage showing they initially placed the teen in handcuffs while he lay wounded. The actions of police officers during the incident are being investigated.

The Darker Side of Pink exhibition is coming to Newcastle City Library from Wednesday 1st October to Friday 31st October to coincide with Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
31 transparent figures represent the 31 women who die every day from Metastatic Breast Cancer in the UK. Each one carries a QR code linked to a video of a woman talking about the issues they face following their diagnosis of MBC.
Come and see this powerful installation and learn more about the reality of secondary breast cancer - a side of pink that’s too often ignored.

Phenomenal early cancer detection by both abbreviated MRI (FAST MRI) and contrast enhanced mammography (CESM) - but CESM had many more adverse events from the iodinated contrast given.
