The last week has been dominated by rioting, and last night was expected to be a particularly explosive night. How did it measure up against expectations? 

Meanwhile, the Tory leadership race continues to chug along, with each of the six candidates providing their own take on Keir Starmer's response to the violent disorder. Rishi Sunak has been surprisingly absent. How do you provide effective opposition during a time of civil disobedience?

Lucy Dunn speaks to Katy Balls and Paul Goodman, former editor of Conservative Home.
