British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that a “standing army” of specialist police would be set up to deal with rioting.

There was a heavy police presence in the city of Plymouth in southwest England on Monday as protesters took to the streets on another day of far-right unrest.

More than 375 people have been arrested in the disorder so far across multiple cities, with more expected to be apprehended in the coming days.
