UK Riots Erupt After Southport Murders
News summary

The UK has been engulfed in violent far-right riots following the killing of three young girls in Southport, which falsely implicated a Muslim asylum seeker. Riots spread to multiple cities, including Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Belfast, and Rotherham, with far-right activists clashing with police and attacking ethnic minorities. Social media, particularly X, played a significant role in spreading misinformation and inciting violence. Prime Minister Keir Starmer condemned the violence and emphasized that those responsible would face severe consequences. In Belfast, Dublin-based far-right agitators joined local protests, leading to violence that required riot police intervention. Authorities in both the UK and Ireland are investigating the far-right networks fueling these disturbances.
