UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has condemned the far-right violence that erupted across multiple cities, including Rotherham and Middlesbrough, following misinformation about a Southport stabbing. Over 150 arrests were made as rioters targeted mosques and clashed with police. An emergency Cobra meeting will be held at 10 Downing Street to address the crisis. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has promised strong police action and enhanced mosque protections. The riots, described as the worst in a decade, began after the stabbing of three young girls, fueling anti-immigrant sentiment.
