Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has slammed the far-right for igniting violent protests across the country following the tragic Southport stabbings.
Amid fears of a summer of riots, Starmer vowed, “I will not permit, under any circumstances, a breakdown in law and order on our streets.”
Chaos erupted in Southport, London, and Hartlepool after the horrific killing of three young girls at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class on Monday.
The accused, 17-year-old Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, was named on Thursday. Born to Rwandan parents in Cardiff, Rudakubana later moved to Banks, Lancashire.
Protests flared up fueled by false online claims that the attacker was an asylum seeker and Muslim. Police have intelligence suggesting that far-right groups and violent hooligans are planning more chaos, with unrest expected to continue throughout the summer.
Alex Phillips, Kevin O’Sullivan and former Number 10 advisor Tim Montgomerie discuss the response of the police and government over the recent turmoil which has spread across the UK.
