The Prime Minister is holding an emergency briefing in Downing Street
Prime Minister Keir Starmer is holding an emergency press conference in Downing Street following riots and disorder across the UK after the shocking Southport stabbing. Here is everything he said in that press conference.
He added: “I remind everyone that the price for a trial that is prejudiced is ultimately paid by the victims and their families, who are deprived of the justice that they deserve. He said: “Make no mistake, whether it’s in Southport, London or Hartlepool these people are showing our country exactly who they are.
“And so on behalf of the British people who expect their values and their security to be upheld. We will put a stop to it.” “Mosques being attacked because they’re mosques – the far right are showing who they are. We have to show who we are in response to that.” Sir Keir added: “We make no distinction. Crime is crime. And so, to that end, I can announce today that, following this meeting, we will establish a national capability across police forces to tackle violent disorder.
We will use 'football hooligan' powers more Sir Keir has said he would like to see greater use of criminal behaviour orders, such as those used in football hooliganism cases, to crackdown on organised riots. “You don’t go to a protest with a rock in your hand. You go to commit violent disorder and we need to be really clear about that and I think those orders would help us in the preventative space.”
“My approach is different, which is to roll my sleeves up, get the relevant people around the table and fix the problems, and meet the challenges that we have as a country.
