Keir Starmer sadly is not talking "on behalf of the British people"! Nor are these responses "Far Right Hatred".

[standstand]

Massive mistake. Labelling concerned citizens with legitimate fears 'far right' then coming across more fascistically 'far fight' than anyone with a tyrannical, dictatorial speech !

[lilbubz]

This is the greatest betrayal of the British public to date.

Leeds…..no response
Manchester….no response

The public rightfully riot when their government allows 3 innocent girls to be murd3r3d “we need to organise a task force to deal with this threat”.

Never forget what he did today. Any respect I had for Starmer is gone.


(Gotta love every reply conveniently forgetting Leeds and Manchester were under attack in the same week. You don't care about riots or property damage, you just don't like it when it's actually legitimate anger over 3 little girls being murd3r3d )

[gavinbissell]

He's chosen a side, and it isn't ours.

Clamping down on protesters who's children are murdered, not a peep on clamping down on the people who commit the crimes. His priority is to protect mosques not the children

[tonyjones]

The way to calm folk down is not to keep making the one sided comments. Why did he decide to do this today but not after Leeds. It’s simply going to make things worse. How can they not see it. Baffles me

[jakeicloud]

Starmer should be charged with Treason!

[marthastubbs]

Im disappointed

Will you be tackle non white rioters or run away still?

[jtothemidd]

Why isnt anyone questioning about the far left who inspire people to commit these sort of crimes

[rikkikeen]

EVERYONE in the country should be very concerned listening to this. If you think of yourself as “liberal” and view these men kicking off a bit as “mindless far right” YOU are part of the problem.

[toffeeblue]

Try fixing the cause of the problem in the first place .

[andrewpercival]

Can't believe there was zero mention of the Leeds riot or the Manchester incident and the victims of those events.

[tonybreward]

Worse now than before, No words for people stabbing or deterrent, I’m so fed up with being labelled, We’re the British people who have had enough of the slaughter.
Why is he not doing anything about it?
Going to get worse and we can’t even protest.

[ianlarman]

So what's he going to do to address the underlying cause?

He's about to oversee the building of thousands of homes for foreign interlopers. This is just going to get worse.

[AndyKSmith]

Treating the symptoms, not the cause....the country is on end of life care.

[charlesfrancis]

That's just what people are tired of, a politician talking for an hour AND SAYING NOTHING!!

[paulkersey]

Here we go. No right to protest or speak out about anything that goes against their narrative. What a repellent creature he is. Keep pushing Starmer, keep pushing.

[hithere]

“How will this task force protect British children, Prime minister?”
“Protect British children?”

[carlitor]

Where is the action on knife crime, stop an search mandatory jail sentences??? What kind of joke response is this

[loyalty.is.its.own.reward]

Did he just declare war on the British people 😂

[josephdixon]

If he won’t do anything then the ppl will get him out asap
