UK riots: London Mayor Sadiq Khan warns far-right protest 'will not be tolerated'

Sadiq Khan has warned would-be rioters that “violence and disorder on the streets of London will not be tolerated” as he issued a call for calm. The mayor of London described recent scenes of racist and far right attacks across the UK as “truly shocking” and pledged criminals will “be arrested and face the full force of the law”. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer held a second emergency Cobra meeting last night and pledged to keep communities safe, as police forces remain braced for reports of planned unrest by “hateful and divisive groups”, with warnings of some 30 possible gatherings. Solicitors’ firms and immigration legal advice agencies reportedly could be targeted later today, with anti-Islamophobia group Tell Mama alerting police to “far-right threats”.
