Starmer Condemns Worst Rioting in 13 Years

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has condemned far-right protests that have devolved into the worst rioting England has seen in 13 years, following the fatal stabbing of three children in Southport. The unrest, fueled by misinformation, has spread across multiple towns and cities, resulting in violent clashes with police, attacks on asylum seeker facilities, and incidents of looting and arson. Starmer warned that participants would 'regret' their actions and vowed to bring perpetrators to justice, labeling the violence as 'far-right thuggery.' Police have made over 100 arrests, and several officers have been injured. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper assured government backing for strong police action against the disorder, emphasizing that those involved will face severe consequences.
