‘Why was my son’s killing in the Nottingham attack not treated as racist?’
Emma Webber is the mother of Barney Webber, one of the victims of the 2023 Nottingham attacks, and a tireless public campaigner in the face of state failure.
Three years on from the attacks in Nottingham in 2023, Borkowski was tasked with supporting Emma Webber through the public inquiry into the murders of Barney Webber, Grace O’Malley-Kumar, and Ian Coates. Laying the groundwork at the end of 2025, Borkowski set up a string of broadcast, podcast and print interviews that gave Emma a platform to lay out the goals of the families ahead of the inquiry beginning.
By the time the inquiry began in February 2026, Borkowski was deeply embedded in the narrative, managing repeat media appearances across all major broadcast outlets, including the BBC, ITV, and Channel 4, as well as significant interview slots on consumer programmes like Good Morning Britain. Working in tandem with print and online, Borkowski managed inbound inquiries from senior journalists across the political spectrum, as well as securing podcast appearances on BBC Radio 4’s Life Changing programme and the Telegraph’s Daily T.
Given the sensitive nature of the inquiry, Borkowski's daily support kept the family's voice at the centre of the narrative, briefing newswires ahead of each witness and sharing quotes from Emma alongside the day's evidence.
With the inquiry winding down, Borkowski supported the organisation of the press conference, bringing together news organisations from across the country and resulting in multiple full-page reports, alongside an exclusive interview with Emma featured on the Telegraph home page for a full evening.
