The UK Prime Minister is vowing swift action as authorities brace for fresh unrest.
There's been escalating violence in far-right riots since the fatal stabbing of three girls in a Merseyside dance class in Southport last week.
More than 500 people have been arrested so far, and thousands of counter protesters have also mobilised across the country.
A rioter who punched a police officer in the face in Southport has been jailed for three years - the longest prison sentence so far over the far-right disorder.
UK Correspondent Rod Liddle told Mike Hosking that Sir Keir Starmer promises 540 jail spaces have been cleared for rioters.
He says it should be enough spaces to deal with this, as the biggest riot saw around 40 people arrested.
