Sir Keir Starmer has cancelled his holiday plans as the government remains focused on its response to days of unrest.
The UK Prime Minister was expected to head off on a summer holiday in Europe this weekend with his family.
But he will work at Number 10 and Chequers this weekend and next week, according to the PA news agency.
On Friday, Sir Keir reiterated that police must remain on “high alert” this weekend.
He told broadcasters that a stepped-up police response after days of disorder and the rapid processing of cases through the courts had had an impact, but his message was to remain on “high alert” to “ensure our communities are safe and secure and feel safe and secure”.
More people attended the court on Saturday due to recent protests, when anti-racism demonstrators gathered in cities including Belfast and Edinburgh.
Thousands of anti-racism protesters also gathered outside Reform UK’s headquarters in London.
