After a weekend of violence and disorder, Sir Keir Starmer has said police will have access to a "standing army of specialist officers" to deal with the riots.   Hundreds of people tried to set fire to a hotel housing asylum seekers in Rotherham on Sunday, while a children’s library in Liverpool and a Citizens Advice centre in Sunderland were burnt over the weekend.    Mosques have also been attacked and shops looted.       The prime minister is facing mounting pressure to take a stand against the far right.   On today’s episode of the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson speaks with Ivan Humble, a former leading active member of the English Defence League who now works to tackle radicalisation and extremism in the UK.   Plus our political correspondent Rob Powell talks about the government's response to the crisis.   Producers: Rosie Gillott & Alex Edden  Editor: Philly Beaumont    Promotion producer: David Chipakupaku
