UK Riots Prompt Calls to Recall Parliament
News summary

The UK is facing widespread riots following the murder of three girls in Southport, prompting calls for the recall of Parliament from summer recess. Reform UK leader Nigel Farage and other MPs, including Diane Abbott and Priti Patel, argue that Parliament should reconvene to address the crisis, citing inadequate policing and a sense of two-tier justice. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has so far resisted these calls, focusing instead on empowering police to curb the violence and ensure public safety. The riots have resulted in significant violence, including the burning of hotels and attacks on police, with over 378 arrests made. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has vowed a crackdown on those inciting violence, especially on social media. The situation has drawn comparisons to the 2011 riots, with some advocating for the same decisive parliamentary action taken then.
