Only 14% of the country say that the people participating in the riots speak for people like them - compared to 86% who say they do not. Again Reform voters tend to be outliers here, although a majority still say they do not speak for people like them.

What do people think the motivation for the riots are? About 23% say legitimate concerns about immigration, around a third say far right ideology and racism, but the biggest group - nearly half say a desire to engage in violence and criminal damage.

Firstly, most Briton's see the events as riots rather than as protests, overall 74% say they are riots 14% protests and 4% something else. Reform voters are the most likely to describe them as protests (34%).
