After widespread anticipation for a night of far-right violence, riots failed to materialise on Wednesday, but thousands attended counter-protests across the country. Nicholas Harris, Staggers editor, reports on the protests in Walthamstow, where community members were joined by anti-racism protesters. The teams discuss “two-tier policing”, Elon Musk’s tweets, and how much support the rioters really have.
Nicholas Harris joins associate political editor Rachel Cunliffe, and associate editor Hannah Barnes.
