UK Faces Worst Rioting in Over a Decade
News summary

The UK has experienced its worst outbreak of rioting in over a decade, fueled by misinformation after the stabbing deaths of three girls in Southport. Far-right agitators have targeted hotels housing asylum seekers, leading to significant damage and violence, particularly in Rotherham where police faced a mob attempting to set a hotel on fire. Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the violence, describing it as 'far-right thuggery,' and vowed swift justice for those involved. Businesses like Sainsbury's, Greggs, and Lush Cosmetics have suffered damage during the riots. Over 400 individuals have been arrested as tensions continue to escalate, presenting a significant challenge to Starmer's new government.
