The majority of people charged over last week's riots live locally to the violent demonstrations which they allegedly joined, analysis has found, contradicting Keir Starmer's claim they were coming from out of town.
Covid-like restrictions should be used to stop the riots, according to Government adviser on political violence John Woodcock. We saw this coming, says Prof David Paton.
Forces must tackle all sides involved in civil disorder with "equal ferocity" a police leader has said, amid a row over "two-tier" policing after no arrests were made at a Muslim riot in Birmingham.
Good Morning Britain was branded "embarrassing in the extreme" by viewers after Ed Balls interviewed his wife Home Secretary Yvette Cooper as she defended the Government's handling of the riots.
A visibly angry Met Police boss Sir Mark Rowley grabbed a reporter's microphone and chucked it on the ground this morning when he was grilled about "two-tier policing". Erm, isn't that criminal damage?
Sir Keir Starmer should recall Parliament so MPs can have a "more honest debate" about mass immigration, Nigel Farage has demanded as he accused the PM of a "faltering approach" to the riots currently sweeping Britain.
Riots could sweep the streets of Britain if immigration is not curbed, Rachel Reeves said in 2016. Yet the now-Chancellor's prescient warning was nowhere to be found in Labour's response to the current disorder.
Until this week, Keir Starmer told us the criminal justice system is at capacity, says Laurie Wastell. Turns out, we can clamp down on crime and disorder just as long as the target is the reviled white working class.
Keir Starmer has said how the police will keep us safe from the 'far Right'. But, asks Steven Tucker, who will keep us safe from him? It's his kind's insane, open-border policy decisions that have put us all in danger.
The murder of children in Southport on Monday was horrific, and the riot the following day was outrageous. There are serious questions to be asked about the chaos in Britain and they must not be censored, says Claire Fox.
