Starmer Calls Emergency Cobra Meeting on Unrest

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has called an emergency Cobra meeting to address the widespread far-right riots and violent attacks on asylum seeker hotels following a stabbing incident in Southport that left three young girls dead. The unrest, described by Starmer as 'far-right thuggery,' has seen mobs targeting immigrants, Muslims, and police officers in various towns including Rotherham, Middlesbrough, and Bolton. Over 150 people have been arrested, and at least 10 officers were injured during the clashes. Starmer has promised severe consequences for the rioters, emphasizing that those involved will face 'the full force of the law.' The Home Office has also implemented a rapid response process to protect mosques and ensure the safety of vulnerable communities. The meeting aims to coordinate a robust response to prevent further violence and restore order.
