Riots in Parliament

Sir Keir Starmer has rejected calls to recall Parliament amidst ongoing far-right riots in the UK, which have escalated in the wake of the Southport killings. The Prime Minister's spokesman stated that the government's focus is on addressing the riots rather than parliamentary debates. Nigel Farage criticized the government's response, arguing for a more honest discussion on immigration and citing perceptions of 'two-tier policing' stemming from previous protests. Starmer convened an emergency Cobra meeting to discuss the violence and ensure swift justice, while police and ministers are preparing for further unrest. Calls for Parliament to be recalled have emerged from various MPs across the political spectrum, including former home secretary Priti Patel and Labour's Diane Abbott. As the situation unfolds, the government faces increasing pressure to respond effectively to the violence and its underlying causes.
