The conversation centres around the recent riots in Leeds and the police response to them. Participants expressed frustration with the police's lack of presence in the area and argued that they need more resources to effectively enforce the law and protect the public.
Andre Walker and Ash Gould are joined by Phil Dave and Samara Gill.
Talk's Phil Dave says Leeds is 'lawless': "The police are terrified of being prosecuted in case they do something wrong."
Talk's Samara Gill reacts to tonight's 'Orwellian' riots in Leeds by saying: "This country is unrecognisable."
Local residents have been warned to stay at home amid ongoing disorder in the Harehills area of Leeds.
There is a “large” police presence in the area - but no injuries have yet been reported, West Yorkshire Police said.
Livestream footage on social media showed vehicles, including what appeared to be a bus, ablaze, with other videos showing an overturned police car on the road with its blue lights flashing, sirens blaring, car alarms going off and crowds of people in the street - some of them shouting.
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said in a post on X: “I am appalled at the shocking scenes and attacks on police vehicles & public transport in Leeds tonight. Disorder of this nature has no place in our society.”
