Starmer to Rioters: you will regret this – as clashes continue across the country
Starmer to Rioters: you will regret this
PM Keir Starmer condemns “far-right thuggery” on UK streets and says those involved “will regret it”.
His comments follow violence in several cities on Saturday and further unrest on Sunday
Far-right rioters storm a Holiday Inn Express in Rotherham used to house asylum seekers, with further clashes in Middlesbrough and Bolton.
Police officers with riot shields surrounded the building and tried to push people back – and extinguished the fire.
More than 140 people have been arrested in relation to disorder since Saturday night.
There are also demonstrations in Bolton, Hull, Southport and Middlesbrough, where the crowd broke through a police.
Protests organised by the far-right started across the country after the fatal stabbing of three young girls in Southport on Monday.
The Home Office has announced new emergency security for mosques “at risk of violent disorder”.
It said the new rapid response process means mosques can be provided with additional security personnel to reassure communities.
