Keir Starmer Visits Northern Ireland Amid Riots

Prime Minister Keir Starmer visited Wales and Northern Ireland on Monday, discussing energy policies and recent riots, respectively. In Wales, Starmer met with First Minister Eluned Morgan to pledge cooperation on clean energy initiatives, including the establishment of Great British Energy, aimed at boosting energy independence and economic growth. Meanwhile, in Northern Ireland, Starmer addressed the aftermath of violent riots that injured over 20 police officers, where anti-immigration protests escalated into unrest, leading to multiple arrests and property damage. He met with PSNI Chief Constable Jon Boutcher to discuss the policing challenges, including funding disparities and officer shortages. Starmer's engagements reflect a dual focus on promoting renewable energy in Wales while addressing security and community issues in Northern Ireland.
