Keir Starmer announces new measures to deal with riots and unrest

This is not protest, it is pure violence.

We will have a standing army of public duty officers.

We will ramp up criminal justice.

We will apply criminal law online as well as offline.

We will not tolerate attacks on mosques or on Muslim communities.

Took barely anytime to decide on a 'standing army' but where was this when grooming gangs were abusing young British children for years?

[leedswiggy]

It’s a pity you weren’t in such a rush to jail those sex offenders that you defended isn’t it ?

[stuartjones]

Why not find out why they’re rioting Kier. DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM!!!!

[neillaw]

Should do something about the illegal immigration instead, fix the cause!

“The British people outside looked from Labour, to Tory, and from Tory to Labour, and from Labour to Tory again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.”

[slamtheman]

How the hell did this comedian get elected? Hes a million miles away being in of touch with reality and the general public. What a Joke. UK is doomed.

[Yoofaloof]

Still not addressing the elephant in the room. Yes, come down on the rioters and idiots - but maybe listen to the original peaceful protests and what they were about? This avoidance ain't helping anyone.

[Drayton]

This is a clown world government. Starmer has lost control of the government. He and his team need to resign. He looks like a deer in the headlights.

[toonharvey]

Every time he opens his mouth he makes it worse ffs

[trevorbrassey]

Hope the country is still here when you get back off your hols!

[onana]

your out of your depth. The country needs strong leadership!

[hello]

He wants these 'thugs' who are stirring up so much trouble that it encourages more violence, to be arrested? This guy doesn't realise he too is doing it himself.

[commonsense]

This was the point when Two Tier realized the rug had been completely pulled from under him.

[Gav-fghi]

YOUR BEING A BARRISTER WHEN WE NEED A PRIME MINISTER. WRONG JOB. JUST QUIT!

[katyap]

Listen to the people of Britain 🇬🇧 first !

[SilverMist]

How dare he speak before our British flag he does not represent at all 🤬🤬🤬🖕🏻

[lunity]

I’ve written a speech he could use: it’s free he can literally just take it copyright free:


hey citizens of the Uk, I hear and understand you are frustrated and upset. I know you’ve been trying to vote in change for 17 years and not seen it. We understand your priority is stopping and reducing illegal immigration into this country and two tier policing. The men who attacked the police in Manchester airport WILL be charged and dealt with strongly. We will also be making sure those walking around with swords will be arrested. We will also be tackling immigration but give us chance we have just got in and we cannot do it overnight but we HAVE heard you.

We understand not everyone protesting is extremist or even far right, we support your British right to protest and many are just British citizens with worries about the Uk. However those who are using violence to make their point WILL be dealt with harshly.

The end.

[benhillier]

Listen to what the people are telling you, this country will burn if you don't stop the boats

[katyap]

Do something about illegal immigration !
Is the number one problem currently !

[toonharvey]

This guy has no personality. He could have handled this a lot better. He is clearly not a people person
