POLL: Do you agree with Nigel Farage - Should Starmer recall parliament to start honest debate on riots? YOUR VERDICT

Farage also hit out at Keir Starmer's "faltering" response to the crisis and warned the army may need to be brought in to tackle the situation.

Violence erupted last week following the spread of misinformation after three young girls were fatally stabbed in Southport, Merseyside.

In a statement on X, Nigel Farage said: "I have been totally appalled by the levels of violence seen in the last couple of days. The levels of intimidation and threat to life have no place in a functioning democracy.

"That so many police officers have been injured trying to keep the peace is shocking, and we should not discount the use of the army if the situation were to deteriorate further.

"In the short term, we will quell the riots, but deeper longer-term problems remain. Ever since the soft-policing of the Black Lives Matter protests, the impression of two-tier policing has become widespread. The Prime Minister's faltering attempts to address the current crisis have only added to that sense of injustice."

He added: "The majority of our population can see the fracturing of our communities as a result of mass, uncontrolled immigration, whether legal or illegal.

"Yet to attempt to debate this in the public arena leads to immediate howls of condemnation. A population explosion without integration was always going to end badly. I have said this for many years.

"We must have a more honest debate about these vital issues and give people the confidence that there are political solutions that are relevant to them. A recall of Parliament would be an appropriate start to this."

In the exclusive poll for GB News membership readers, an overwhelming majority (97 per cent) of the 1,788 voters thought Starmer should recall parliament, while just two per cent thought he shouldn't. One per cent said they did not know.
