Is this another summer of discontent?

The Daily T

About this episode

Sir Andy Cooke, HM Chief Inspector of Constabulary, has told the Sunday Telegraph that there is “every possibility” of rioting this summer, in a repeat of last year's unrest following the Southport murders, as the same ingredients that fuelled that disorder are still very much in place now.


With anger at the housing of migrants in hotels spilling over into more violent demonstrations at the weekend, as well as the Telegraph's exclusive story that pro-Palestinian supporters are co-orindating in an attempt to overwhelm the police, are we on the brink of major civil unrest?


Gordon Rayner and Cleo Watson are joined by Martin Evans, the Telegraph's Crime Editor, who's been speaking to sources within the police to find out how braced for trouble they are, whilst Cleo reveals how Downing Street may be unprepared with Westminster in summer shutdown.
