UK PM Starmer promises 'swift criminal sanctions' after more anti-immigrant violence
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer met with ministers and police chiefs on Monday in an emergency meeting aimed at finding a way to quell the unrest that has swept across various English cities this past week. Vowing to impose "swift criminal sanctions", he said a standing army would be deployed to support local riot forces. The anti-immigration protests first broke out in Southport, where three young girls were killed in a knife attack, after false rumours spread that the perpetrator was an asylum seeker.
