UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has urged police to remain on high alert this weekend, following intelligence of potential protests. This comes after a week of unrest sparked by false rumors related to the Southport stabbings. Over 6,000 officers were deployed on Wednesday, preventing anticipated far-right marches. Starmer praised swift justice, with rioters receiving up to three-year sentences, but emphasized the need for continued vigilance. With 483 arrests and 151 charges so far, the government remains focused on maintaining order and ensuring community safety amid ongoing tensions.
