Starmer says UK 'on high alert' for more far-right rallies

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Friday that authorities "have to stay on high alert going into this weekend" amid fears of further far-right riots in English towns and cities.

"I'm absolutely convinced that having the police officers in place these last few days and the swift justice that has been dispensed in our courts have had a real impact," he added following a recent lull in the violence.
