AN SNP MSP has joined a chorus of voices asking where Keir Starmer is as far-right riots erupt in numerous cities across England.
Dozens of people were arrested across England and Northern Ireland on Saturday for their involvement in riots which saw a foodbank and a library set on fire and numerous police officers injured.
On Sunday, the violence continued as far-right rioters smashed the windows of a hotel in Rotherham housing asylum seekers and clashed with police.
The group eventually gained access to the building after throwing a flaming wheelie bin through a window.
The Prime Minister denounced the violence earlier this week and promised a "robust response" from police.
However as the violence erupts and communities fear for their safety many have asked why he is yet to make a public appearance on Sunday.
Where on earth is @Keir_Starmer?

SNP MSP Kevin Stewart asked on X/Twitter: "Where on earth is @Keir_Starmer?"
While fellow SNP MSP Elena Whitham echoed calls from former first minister Humza Yousaf for the army to be sent in to stop the riots, which he described as a "pogrom against Muslims and People of Colour".
She said: "Pogrom is absolutely the right word here. Where is our Prime Minister?!"
