Police across the UK are preparing for potential riots as far-right groups plan anti-immigration demonstrations in over 30 locations, including Harrow, Hounslow, Finchley, and Walthamstow in London, as well as Middlesbrough, Birmingham, and Liverpool. Over 6,000 officers are on standby, with the Home Office warning protesters of severe penalties. Tell Mama has alerted authorities about far-right threats, and more than 400 people have already been arrested. Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood condemned threats against solicitors, emphasizing a robust response. Prime Minister Keir Starmer reassured communities of their safety, while Metropolitan Police's Andy Valentine vowed to prevent further disorder. [ Photo Courtesy: The Standard/ Instagram ]
