The Prime Minister will hold another Cobra meeting later today

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has claimed "We can't let up now" as threats of further chaotic protests loom.

Swift arrests could be to blame after a rioter was jailed yesterday for three years in prison.

The Prime Minister said: "The fact that we didn't see the disorder that we feared is because we had police deployed in numbers in the right places, giving reassurance to communities."
