Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood warned that the effects of recent far-right riots in the UK could last "for months and years to come." Speaking about the violence sparked by false online rumors after a tragic stabbing in Southport, Mahmood emphasized that the justice system is working hard, with courts staying open longer to process the 779 arrested. "The impact of these days of disorder will be felt for months and years," she said. The riots have intensified challenges for an already strained justice system dealing with backlogs and overcrowded prisons.
