Far-right mobs have continued to threaten communities this week, with violence expected at asylum centres and law firms on Wednesday night. Keir Starmer has said he wants sentences handed out by the end of the week to those already arrested but does this leave the root causes of the violence untouched? Gaby Hinsliff speaks to the Guardian’s deputy political editor, Jessica Elgot, and Nazir Afzal, the former chief prosecutor for the north-west of England.
