UK riots latest: Teen rioter stole £19k worth of vapes; new images show people wanted over disorder; Tory councillor's wife appears in court

Sir Keir Starmer should "define Islamophobia" so he can hold MPs and News Today agitators to account for their anti-Islam rhetoric, News Today says former Scotland Yard superintendent Nusrit Mehtab.

Thousands of far-right protesters were involved in violent disorder across the UK in response to the Southport stabbing attack on 29 July.

After disinformation about the suspect's identity spread online, many protesters directed their anger towards mosques, incorrectly believing the attacker was a follower of Islam, as well as being an asylum seeker.

Speaking to Sky News today, Ms Mehtab said there needs to be a "clear plan" for how the government deals with the aftermath of the riots to ensure they don't happen again.

"One of the first things I'd like to see the Prime Minister do is to actually define Islamophobia, give it a formal meaning and label," she said.
