– More far-right protests are possible SUN in locations, including Middlesborough, following the JUL 29 stabbing attack in Southport in which three young girls were killed and several others critically injured.

On FRI, police broke up violent confrontations between far-right protesters and demonstrators gathering to protect a mosque from potential attack in Liverpool. It’s the latest escalation as rioting orchestrated by far-right-wing groups.

Officials have warned misinformation about the British-born suspect Axel Ruda-Kubana has fuelled the unrest.

A website posing as a news organisation falsely claimed he was an asylum seeker who arrived by boat last year.

Researchers say far right influencers have used the attack to promote an anti-immigration agenda.
