Homes and cars were set on fire, as some protestors reportedly went door to door, searching for immigrants. The scene was described as a &quot;race-based pogrom&quot; by Social Democratic and Labour Party leader Claire Hanna. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has appealed for calm. <\/p>\n<p>There are reports that the protests were organised by far-right leaders in other parts of the UK, intent on stirring up anti-immigrant sentiment. <\/p>\n<p>This comes just days after protests in England, over the murder of Henry Nowak and his treatment by police in the moments before his death. Both cases have highlighted the growing political division over race, multiculturalism and immigration in the UK. <\/p>\n<p>We speak to our UK political correspondent Rob Watson.<\/p>\n<p>New episodes of the Global News Podcast are published twice a day.
