Sir Keir Starmer has been accused of 'trying to police opinions' by assembling an elite team of police officers to monitor growing anti-migrant sentiment online.
Detectives are set to be drawn from forces around the country as the Government scrambles to crack down on potential violence by flagging up early signs of civil unrest on social media.
It comes amid fears Britain could face another summer of disorder just 12 months after a wave of riots sparked scenes of chaos following the Southport murders.
Earlier this month, demonstrations first flared up outside The Bell Hotel, in Epping, Essex, after an Ethiopian asylum seeker was charged with sexually assaulting a schoolgirl, but protests have since spread to other parts of the country.
The new police division, assembled by the Home Office, will aim to 'maximise social media intelligence' after police forces were heavily criticised for their handling of last year's riots which quickly spread across the country.
Angela Rayner last week warned the Government needs to address the 'real concerns that people have about immigration'.
But critics say the social media crackdown is 'disturbing' and raises concerns for free speech. It also comes after footage emerged of Essex Police escorting pro-migrant protesters to the Epping hotel before clashes broke out.
Chris Philp, the shadow home secretary, told The Telegraph: 'Two-tier Keir can't police the streets, so he's trying to police opinions instead.
'They're setting up a central team to monitor what you post, what you share, what you think, because deep down they know the public don't buy what they're selling.'

Apparently they vote for this.
Obviously Mr. Philp should be arrested and sent to a re-education camp. His mind just ain’t right.
“Elite team of Cops”. Good use of their mad skills. They can read at a 4th grade level and decipher complicated memes.
Fascism won the war in Britain.
Maybe we wasted our time and troops trying to save them in WWII. They have become the Nazi’s we fought.
“Policing opinions”? Is that like a Polite way to say SHUT THE F UP? Remember friends, “The only way to make a bad idea SOUND like a good idea is to Silence the good idea that shows just how bad the bad idea really is” L.Star
” elite team of cops told to monitor anti-migrant social media posts”
The handed control of the country to Labour so yeah they did vote for this. The Tories set the table, labour served the poison stew.
Should have ignored Europe. Focused on Japan instead.
Seems like eh? Fookin’ idjits. And they think PDJT is bad?
Flooding in outsiders to western nations not expecting freedoms the native citizens expect. They have to shutdown free speech to continue their march to the WEF globalist surveillance state. The CCP is their model and its best for them if normal people connecting the dots aren’t allowed to share with others.
Outsiders flooding in can also blur and obfuscate potential population declines from their medical interventions.
Elon came up with “Two-Tier Kier” didn’t he? Talk about spot on. Kier will be wearing that one for the rest of his life.
Something like that, mostly concentrated in London and other major cities.
Agreed.
Well, they voted for the usual free money and against the Conservatives' demonstrated incompetence. Many had no idea how far Starmer would take his attempt to replace the UK electorate.
“Many had no idea how far Starmer would take his attempt to replace the UK electorate.“
Then they were idiots. You could see that coming from space. He was the head of Labour for crying out loud.
When do they throw Nigel Farage in prison?
This is what happens when you give up your guns.
And Big Tech will share all of its data with the government. Social media makes Big Tech the Big Snitch.
