I don't know how Keir Starmer can wake up in the morning, see that pogroms have been taking place under his watch, that they are being fuelled by literal illegal activity on social media, and not make it his entire purpose to stop it. We know you're no politician, but are you not a lawyer?
At moments of crisis, leaders have a responsibility to speak to, and for, their country.
The PM should be on the airwaves, telling the stories of the children, teenagers and families who have been burned out of their homes; naming those responsible; and leading a national fightback against them.
MPs had damn well better decide this morning whose side they're really on before #PMQs at noon.
Either they back liberal democracy and the rule of law or, by continuing to mouth weasel words about 'legitimate grievances', 'two-tier policing', 'back doors' and the like, they don't.
