The chairman of the Greater Manchester Police Federation has shared fears over widescale energy price riots - and a "serious risk that we will see the unravelling of society".
PC Lee Broadbent shared a poll on Twitter asking police officers if they believed forces "have the operational capacity to deal with wide-spread riots as well as routine policing".
Sharing the poll, PC Broadbent wrote: "What every chief officer publicly shies away from, every front line cop knows. It’s not that we wouldn’t passionately hold the line... it’s how long we could actually do it."
