Talk's Alex Phillips and Conservative Home's Tim Montgomerie reacts to Prime Minister Keir Starmer launching a new clampdown on criminal and violent disorder.
Criminals intent on causing violence and unrest on our streets will be stopped in their tracks thanks to a new National Violent Disorder Programme, the Prime Minister has announced today.
At a meeting of police chiefs in Downing Street this afternoon, he offered his clear backing to forces up and down the country - pledging that the Government will work in direct partnership with them to stamp out the violent disorder seen in recent weeks.
Following the meeting, he has announced the immediate creation of the new programme, which will bring together the best policing capabilities from across the country to share intelligence on the activity of violent groups so the authorities can swiftly intervene to arrest them.
Alex says: "This is a cry for help, they're not being listened to and they feel there is nothing left!"
