As the UK braces for 30 far-right protests planned for Wednesday night, Sir Keir Starmer expects many rioters convicted in recent unrest to be sentenced by the end of the week. Despite dispersal orders in Liverpool and Durham, the violence continues, with police monitoring threats against immigration law specialists. Approximately 6,000 specialist officers are on standby, and efforts are underway to identify and prosecute perpetrators using CCTV and facial recognition technology. The unrest, sparked by false claims about a recent knife attack suspect, has led to over 400 arrests and significant property damage.
