Did Farage incite violence with his call for 'pure cold rage'?

Nigel Farage was accused by many in the Commons today of inciting violence with his call for people to respond to a young man’s murder with "pure cold rage".
The Reform UK leader explicitly ignored the wishes of Henry Nowak's family - who had urged politicians not to use Henry's death to ramp up tensions - to suggest that the anger seen in Southampton last night could even get worse.
As he spoke, he was jeered and accused of hijacking a personal tragedy for political gain.
The question perhaps is whether Farage's rhetoric on race has hardened - and if so why?
Is it the spectre of the Makerfield by-election where Reform has another hard right party snapping at their heels?
Later, Jeremy Hunt is with us to discuss why those in power know what to do - but not how to get reelected afterwards.
Is this a fatal flaw with our system?
