Watch live: Protests, many involving far-right and anti-immigrant groups continue

Protests, many involving far-right and anti-immigrant groups continue for a second day in towns and cities across parts of the UK. Masked groups have smashed windows at a hotel in Rotherham and police have been given extra powers in Bolton. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has told the police they have ministers’ full backing to take “all necessary action to keep our streets safe“ from “thugs“ who “sow hate“ as violent protests erupted across the UK following the stabbing of three girls in Southport.
