Is Starmer’s response to the riots enough?

24 min listen

Police are bracing themselves for more violent disorder this weekend. This is in the aftermath of the tragic stabbings in Southport and unrest in London, Hartlepool and Southport. Keir Starmer made a statement yesterday condemning the protests and the involvement of far right actors for stoking up the violence and spreading disinformation online. Is there a double standard in government’s response to these latest protests?

Oscar Edmondson speaks to Brendan O’Neill and John Woodcock, who advised government on political violence & disruption.
