The UK has been gripped by unrest and what Prime Minister Keir Starmer called "far-right thuggery" after three young girls were killed and several others were injured in a stabbing by a 17-year-old boy on July 29 in the northwest town of Southport. The violence broke out after social media posts falsely claimed that the suspected attacker was a Muslim asylum seeker.
