Immigration and deprivation causing UK public to lose faith in politicians, says Rayner

Deputy PM says government must show it is helping people amid concerns about potential for more riots in England

Immigration and deprivation are the main factors causing public disenchantment with politicians and the government that has led to social unrest and rioting, Angela Rayner, the deputy prime minister, has warned.

According to an official summary of Tuesday's meeting of the cabinet, Rayner, who is leading a wider government project on improving social cohesion, also highlighted the increasing amount of people spending time alone and online as a driver of disturbances.
