UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has pledged to "bring these thugs to justice" following widespread rioting. In a national address, he condemned the violence, which has targeted Muslim communities and mosques, and vowed a strong response. The Home Office will provide additional security to vulnerable mosques as part of emergency measures. The unrest was sparked by false claims about an asylum seeker linked to a tragic incident. Starmer's firm stance aims to differentiate between legitimate debate and far-right violence, as authorities prepare for swift legal action against those involved.
