The UK government announced the deployment of 6,000 specialist police to address far-right riots across English cities. The unrest, ignited by the fatal stabbing of three children at a dance class in Southport, has seen nightly violence, including attacks on police, vandalism, and targeting of asylum seekers. Justice Minister Heidi Alexander confirmed additional prison spaces to manage the surge in arrests. Prime Minister Keir Starmer assured the nation of strict measures to restore order and safety.
