Addressing those who 'feel targeted because of the colour of your skin or your faith', the prime minister says the 'violent mob do not represent this country'.
The prime minister has vowed to do 'whatever it takes to bring these thugs to justice' as he addressed the nation amid rioting in UK streets. 'I guarantee you will regret taking part in this disorder, either directly or those whipping up this disorder online,' Sir Keir Starmer said in a televised address. Referring to a violent attack on a hotel in Rotherham thought to have housed migrants, he said: 'There is no justification for taking this action.
Speaking on the fifth day of unrest, Sir Keir said he would not 'shy away from calling it what it is' and branded the violence 'far-right thuggery'. 'To those who feel targeted because of the colour of your skin or your faith: I know how frightening this must be,' he said. 'I want you to know this violent mob do not represent this country, and we will bring them to justice.
