Over 400 arrests have been made in the UK following a series of violent far-right riots, which have included attacks on police and asylum seeker shelters across multiple cities. Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced the establishment of a 'standing army' of specialist police officers to effectively manage ongoing violence, while Home Secretary Yvette Cooper condemned the attacks as 'appalling' and promised that offenders would face severe legal consequences. Rioters in cities like Rotherham and Middlesbrough have clashed with police, with reports of injuries and property damage, including an attempted fire at a hotel housing asylum seekers. The unrest has been fueled by misinformation and public outrage following a tragic stabbing incident in Southport. Authorities are intensifying their efforts to identify and prosecute those involved in the riots, with police pledging increased presence to reassure communities. As tensions continue, the government is making it clear that violence and intimidation will not be tolerated.
