2. My MESSAGE IS YOU WONT SILENCE ME LIKE YOUR ALL TRYING TO SILENCE TOMMY DONT LIKE THE TRUTH IN UK ANYMORE!!!

3. Did he see croydon then ? The new MDL

4. Can we focus on safety and secruity and illegal migrsnt crime, and crime of the assaulted manchester police officers.

   De moralised that whole force within

5. He doesn't care about the public, he does what his overlords say

6. 😅

7. Still unable to even mention the issues facing the country. Only 5 years left peeps.

8. Say whatever you like online. Don't listen to this aggressor.

9. Two tier king king 😂

10. It's starting to unravel for two tier kier after another labourite is found to have used racist language. As he say social media is not a law free area, unless you're Labour. We'll see if it's two tier.😮

11. This guy is unbearable

12. THe FULL FORSE OF THE SCHOOL LEAVERS who have had 3 months training

13. We need to keep our British values peace and love, tolérance diversity…..❤🇬🇧

14. Okay, okay, okay…but hold up a minute, will you☝️
    He keep saying that criminal will "feel the full force of the law" meaning that usually the law is going at a different level depending on who it deal with.
    And now he say that the police must be on "high alert", is that in contrast with their usual attitude of not caring about it ?
    He's the PRIME MINISTER and he shouldn't talk 💩 about our justice system or our police forces.
    The justice system apply the law impartially and the police officers do nothing but their best.
    Anything else he has try to say was for his political gain and sounded ridiculous.

15. Yes Prime Minister, the police must stay alert for Labour Councillors who publicly advocate extreme violence to people they don't agree with, and for MP's who dislike immigrants from previous Soviet Union states…the irony!

16. Majority of people have no faith in the politicians and the media anymore, covering up stories up and down the country!!

17. I cant bare to evan hear his voice. Awful

18. Police on high alert for some riots but retreat for others

19. How on earth can anybody have voted for this Party? It's a pity he hasn't acted as quickly in stopping the boats which is the key issue and why the public are rioting in the first place. S.O.S.

20. Starma

21. How entirely reassuring to look & listen to the strong man here offering us help to make us feel secure in our now almost destroyed undemocratic country that once was called Great Britain .

22. Están defendiendo su tierra!!! No quieren ser invadidos.

23. How long will you still be prime minister

24. How are people supposed too feel safe with 45,000 people on roaming the streets on the terror watch list kier

25. Starmer, dont forget that the British people deserve better in their own country. Stop lslamic movement in Britain.

26. Sack the Home Secretary. Her husband is an agitator.

27. He wants an excuse. Don’t give him it

28. Stasi starmer.

29. Tyrant.

30. He is playing a very dangerous game by suppressing the British people and the truth

31. The met police retweeted a video calling for people to have their throats cut, will they be held accountable?

32. Justice you don't know the meaning of the word. Rioter causing injury and damage in the communities get 4 month sentence but some people who discussed a peaceful protest get 20+ years. So energy company profits come before peoples safety including the police.

34. Resign Starmer. Get lost Guardian. I’d love to see the 👎to this paper.

35. Its really important to keep west midlands police children and their thieving jealousy denied in great britain
    Hilton need to recognise they are the working Class chain and thats where they are staying

36. Is he still finishing at 6pm tonight

37. Im repulsed by you starmer. You're the pm not mine though..The people have had it.

38. Why is it that instead of listening to the people he is instead relying on the police to sort his mess with arrest and violence. He is no better than the “anti-right” protesters that went out looking for violence. The same people that voted for him to be prime minister, are now being persecuted.

    When BLM protestors were rioting, looting, causing mayhem on the streets, what was the police’s reaction? They bent the knee. This country has become a laughing stock to the world, I only see more hardship to come under this government.

    I have never seen so much hatred and disapproval pointed at one men.

    It may appear correct in your eyes, surely your intelligent enough to see what is happening.

    Stop this nonsence NOW

    And behave like a prime Minister

41. Stamer knows best to use specific law but not know how to stop these crazy moment so that he's useless!

42. This man had no spine at all. Not a leader

44. He's very paranoid over this phantom army of far right 😂
    Most bizarre .

45. Hi, Any news on the police officer who has been stabbed in Gateshead Today? Seems very serious and For some strange reason nobody is reporting it.

46. We need to clamp down on social media ASAP. Remove anonymity, and the cowards in society will have to show themselves.

47. a man that caused the riots by calling british people far right, now says the police must work longer because of his fault!! cheers KEIR

48. Is this how a dictator starts?
